Today we went to the West Geauga Park in Geauga County and stood inside the nature center and what a flurry of activity we saw. There were tree sparrows, white throated sparrows, white breasted nuthatches and a whole slew of other birds. But what we hoped to see, finally appeared at the feeder and it was a female redpoll. This was particularly exciting because it was a lifer for both of us. We also saw at least 30 pine siskins. In addition to seeing the white breasted nuthatches, we also saw a red breasted nuthatch. It was also fun to see at the feeders at exactly the same time, lined up in a perfect row a downy woodpecker, a hairy woodpecker and a red bellied woodpecker.
