UltraBird May 23, 2013
The weather was just perfect. It was about 66 degrees most of the
morning. The birds were singing like crazy in Hinckley. This is the
first year we have "eBird"ed the UltraBird.
Below is our report for Thursday May 23. Thanks to Mary Lou Hura,
Tom Romito, Penny O'Connor and Mary Anne Romito for participating.

The weather was quite a bit chillier. It stayed about 45 degrees
all day. The birds still sang but the comfort level for the
observers was considerably colder. At one point we adjouned to Cafe
Ah-Roma in Berea to warm up. Still we came up with a respectable
total today. Mike Pasek joined us today. Thank you.Terri Martincic
heard a Great-Horned Owl at Willow Bend.

The wind died down and made the 34 degrees weather much more
tolerable. It eventually warmed up to 55 degrees. Highlights today
for the UltraBirders were Yellow-throated Warbler singing at Lagoon,
a Brown Creeper was singing too. A mother Woodcock and 2 young did
their Woodcock strut across the open field near Cedar Point Rd. We
were joined by many birders today at Rocky River Nature Center. See
picture at right.
The UltraWalkers, Stan Searles and Steve Mather walked the entire
length of the Rocky River IBA today. Congratulations. They were
joined by several people for the last 5 miles. See their picture at
the right. The UltraWalkers and our board members met many people
along the way and introduced them to WCAS and the wonders of our
Important Bird Area and birding.
