Field Trip
Date: Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 8:30 a.m.
Location: Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, 28728 Wolf Rd, Bay Village, OH 44140
Leader: Tim Jasinski
Results: 19 birders and 25 species
Taking advantage of spring-like weather and open water, the walk began at Huntington Beach. Common Mergansers and Red-breasted Mergansers flew back and forth in groups. Common Goldeneye floated and dove. Scopes were a must to see most the birds. A most entertaining European Starling showed off a startling repertoire of bird calls: Killdeer, Common Grackle, Eastern Wood Pewee, Eastern Phoebe and Red-winged Blackbird, to name a few. At the end of the walk the Barred Owl next to Lake Erie Nature and Science Center did not disappoint.
