Hi Did BBS in the central gardens of The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, today. 45 species. Highlights included copulating behavior by White-breasted Nuthatches and Bluebirds defending nest boxes from Tree Swallows. For those who don't know Tree Swallows have begun to take both boxes in the pairs set on trails, leaving no place for the Bluebirds. Other birds of interest were a Sora on Blueberry Pond. Pine and Yellow-Rumped Warblers, Savannah Sparrow, and Purple Finch. Good ducks on Corning Lake but not a huge variety.
