Hey all -
Spent some time in the frozen Cuyahoga Valley today.
Jaite marsh held large numbers of sparrows - 100 Tree,
2 Swamp, and Song. However, a real surprise was a
pure flock containing 21 Field Sparrows. These birds
were near the main parking area off Vaughn. Never
have I seen so many at this date in northern Ohio. A
young Bald Eagle also soared over the marsh during my
visit.
I walked the entire loop at Horseshoe Pond and was
rewarded with R-b Nuthatch and G-c Kinglet, but only
one of each. Perhaps more exciting were Hermit Thrush
and a sleepy Barred Owl. There is actually a good
berry crop remaining in this area, and the robins were
taking full advantage - 60 or so were seen on the
loop.
I took a quick drive down the entrance road to Oak
Hill, but no shrike or anything else of interest were
present.
Good birding -
