Made a couple quick car-birding stops yesterday. Summit Lake (downtown Akron) had one section of open water on the west side: American Coots Mallards Common Goldeneye - 1 American Black Duck - 2 Northern Shovelers Ruddy Ducks Pied Billed Grebe - 3 Canada Geese American Crow - 3 of which were walking on the ice. Is that "normal"? House Finches Dark Eyed Juncos Song Sparrows European Starlings House Sparrows Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Bolanz Road Bridge + field viewed from parking lot: 11 Common Mergansers in river just north of the bridge. Spent a very short time looking in the field, so likely missed some birds: Canada Geese American Crows Blue Jays Northern Cardinals Song Sparrows Dark Eyed Juncos Tree Sparrows - one of which was "perched" on a Canada Goose Blue Jays Horned Larks European Starlings Renee ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
