Crossed the Ohio and Erie Canal in Cuyahoga Heights about 3:45pm today and
spotted a very small (less than robin-sized) somewhat longer=necked bird
swimming in the canal, just south of Warner Road (south of the most
northerly new white pedestrian/bike bridge). I was southbound, slowed down
to look (of course) and the car behind me immediately blew its horn (of
course). Went down the street, turned around, drove back to the OTHER side
the canal and parked for safety, but could not relocated the bird. Not a
grebe. Size and shape fit for phal, butŠ.?? Perhaps someone can walk the
Towpath Trail between Warner and Granger Roads Friday and see if they can
relocate the little guy.
