My husband and I were treated to a fantastic caterwauling performance by 2 pairs plus one barred owls in the woods surrounding the Creek Trail accessed by the Tupelo Pond entrance to Big Creek Park north of Chardon. We were able to distinguish their shadowy silhouettes up in the trees in the dwindling light. They weren't spooked by our presence so we were able to enjoy the show for as long as we wanted. In addition, we heard spring peepers, lovely trilling toads and the snoring calls of pickerel frogs from Tupelo Pond. A wonderful night in the woods! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
