Sandy Ridge Field Trip
Saturday, March 8, 2014
Leader: Tim Fairweather
15 Birders, 25 Species
Red-winged Blackbirds and Song Sparrows sang their spring songs, in
spite of snow on the ground and ice on the wetland at Sand Ridge
Reservation of Lorain Metro Parks.
A few Canada Geese sat and strolled on the icy surfaces of
the ponds. The only other waterfowl were the beautiful taxidermy
specimens inside the Johnson Wetland Center. Highlights of the walk
were the Red-headed Woodpecker, Brown Creepers and nesting Bald
Eagles and Great Horned Owls.
