Field Trip Report

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:
25 Species, 19 Birders

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.
