A brisk 40°+ day brought 38 members of WCAS and Black River Audubon together. As the day wore on the gray clouds went away and the sun came out. The Wellington Reservation has been designed to be a grassland and wetland preserve. "It looks a lot like the wide open spaces in Minnesota" per Chris Grames of Lorain County Metroparks and our guide. Below is our species report. Canada Goose Gadwall Mallard Green-winged Teal Ring-necked Teal Scaup (sp.) Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Ruddy Duck Common Loon Pied-billed Grebe Horned Grebe Great Blue Heron Northern Harrier Sharp-shinned Hawk Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Ring-billed Gull Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Blue Jay American Crow Horned Lark Black-capped Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch White-breasted Nuthatch Brown Creeper Carolina Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Eastern Bluebird American Robin European Starling American Tree Sparrow Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird House Finch American Goldfinch House Sparrow 48 Total Species	WCAS & Black River Audubon birders & guests
