Field Trip Report 


 
Event:​ Great Backyard Bird Count ​Field Trip to Huntington Reservation 
Date:​ Sunday, February 18, 2018 
Time:​ 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 
Location:​ ​Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, 28728 Wolf Rd, Bay Village, 
OH 44140 
Leader:​ Janice Farral 
Results:​ 4 Birders, 24 Species 
Four people joined the Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society hike. We started the hike with two
people and two more joined in a little later. We started the hike on the bunny trail and found
one Barred Owl! We continued from Lake Erie Nature and Science Center to Huntington Beach
where we observed several Gulls and Hawks. We didn't have many duck species, as Lake Erie is
still frozen close to shore and open water was far beyond our reach. Gull species included
Ring-billed Gulls, Herring Gulls, and Great Black-backed Gulls. I tried hard to locate Glaucous
and Iceland Gulls with no luck. There were also three Hawks present at Huntington Beach. One
Red-tailed Hawk, one Red-shouldered Hawk, and one Cooper's Hawk (it was banded)! We
watched and heard many American Crows overhead. We believe there were somewhere
between 8 and 10 American Crows present. Also spotted my first Common Grackle of the year.
