33 species were observed during "Birds Before Work" on the Nickle Plate Trail this morning. Excellent views of a Cooper's Hawk at the Pinevale trailhead for the second visit in a row. One House Wren was singing from the brush on the west side of the paved path adjacent to the Pinevale trailhead parking lot, but I could not get my eyes on it. Walking a half mile north there were many White-throated Sparrows still present in the honeysuckle hedgerows just south of Metzger Park. One Dark-eyed Junco was spotted foraging in the same area. A Hermit Thrush was present in the same vicinity. The southern edge of Metzger Park, adjacent to the trail, delivered 3 Brown Thrashers and a single, singing Eastern Meadowlark. A full list of observed species is noted below.
