Science Olympiad,
held at Cleveland State University on Saturday, February 17, was
wonderful. Jan Holkenborg, Dave LeGallee and Nancy Howell set up
and staffed the test on bird identification. Calls and songs,
silhouettes, nests, behavior and the use of check lists, as well as
basic bird identification were all included. Eighteen schools
participated from Cleveland Municipal Schools, several suburban
schools, private schools and parochial schools. Western Cuyahoga
Audubon, in its strive for education, deeply thanks the schools,
teachers, parents, chaperones and coaches for taking time on a
