Riverside Cemetery Field Trip
Saturday, April 21, 2012
Leader: Mary Anne Romito
Riverside Cemetery, founded 1876, is 90 tree-lined acres in
Cleveland's Brooklyn Centre neighborhood, overlooking the Cuyahoga
Valley. WCAS was joined
by the Brooklyn Centre Naturalists and a group of scouts, for a
total of 21 on the bird walk. Overnight chill to the low 40's from
previous mild weather limited bird activity. A Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker was one of the few migrants. Nevertheless there were
Chipping Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows and robins throughout.
White-tailed deer also appreciate this urban green space.
