While out birding the Cuyahoga Valley National Park today I lost the "pen" portion of my IFlyer. It most likely got away from me somewhere south of Station Road on the Towpath, or possibly in the general vicinity of the Station Road Bridge trailhead parking lot. If anyone else was out there today, (looking for the Common/Eurasian Teal, maybe?) and ran across the device, please let me know. It was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend, and I feel like a total heel for somehow dropping it. Incidentally, we did not see the teal, but the valley was alive with birds. We walked the Towpath and the Old Carriage Trail and saw: Canada Goose Mallard Wood Duck RB Gull RT Hawk Turkey Vulture GB Heron Killdeer Belted Kingfisher Red-Bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker (my second this spring, I saw one at Lakewood Park last week) Eastern Phoebe (saw 4, hear many, many more calling) Hermit Thrush Am Robin N. Mockingbird Blue Jay Am Crow BC Chickadee Tufted Titmouse WB Nuthatch (looked for and did not find Red-Breasted) Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (a possible Magnolia Warbler -- it got scared off by a Sapsucker before I could confirm ID) RW Blackbird Common Grackle Song Sparrow N Cardinal In other words, nothing much out of the ordinary, but lots and lots of birds, all doing wonderful spring things on a gorgeous day. -Leslie Basalla Cleveland _________________________________________________________________ Going green?
