A huge Snapping Turtle was caught by a fisherman.The turtle was going to be released as you can't remove turtles or frogs from the Cleveland Metroparks.  Generally you can keep a Snapping Turtle if you have a fishing license. 

The highlight of the hike had to be the baby Screech Owl.  No Ruby-crowned Kinglets and few Yellow-rumped Warblers made us wonder if some birds crossed Lake Erie last night. 

About 15 observers and 49 species.
