For those that live in Ohio, particularly around or in Cuyahoga or Lorain County up near Cleveland, you must check out Sandy Ridge Reservation in North Ridgeville. http://metroparks.cc/sandy_ridge_reservation.php It is a huge wetland nature preserve that attracts a ton of birds. I was talking with the park manager today and he was telling me about how in May he hosts a 'bird-off' for local charities. He said last year from their one observation mound he spotted 80 species in 12 hours. There wasn't too much activity today. A few egrets, blue herons, and a whole bunch of kingfishers diving like crazy. They have a bald eagle nest on their grounds that fledged two eaglets this year but sadly neither they or their parents were around today. They have a very large wooded area as well and in the evening owls are hooting everywhere though I've yet to spot one. I'm hoping I will have better luck in the fall.

Posted in the Critterquest thread, but I figured the birding thread would enjoy it too. A piebald American Robin that lives outside my apartment complex. Unfortunately only had my phone camera on me at the time, hence the less than stellar quality.
