I spent two hours this morning hiking trails at the Medina Co. Wolf Creek
Environmental Center and associated Alderfer/Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary.
I had 31 species in 2 hrs. This is an excellent area to see open-field and
successional field birds under ideal conditions. The highlight was to have
both willow and alder flycatcher present in the same successional field
with both singing so that a good comparison could be made of the song.
There were several blue-winged warblers singing, as well as many common and
expected species. I also had a flyover by a broad-winged hawk.

The only drawback of this facility for birders is that it does not open
until 9am. Randy Rowe, Wooster
