Canalway Field Trip

Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 8:30 a.m.

Leader: Chuck Slusarczyk, Jr.

21 Birders, 30 species

The Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation of Cleveland Metroparks has a variety of habitats, but what we experienced most of all on this field trip was rain! Nonetheless, 21 birders persevered and observed 30 species, including 150 American Robins and a Northern Mockingbird. The trip finished with a pleasant time reviewing the list at Canalway Center, and lunch at Yours Truly on Canal Rd.

Thanks Rich and Karen Kassouf for sending our list to eBird.
