Leaders: Bill Deininger, Ken Gober, Dave Graskemper
Results: 24 Birders and 26 Species
Description: We had 24 observers on this Second Saturday in December in Rocky River
Reservation. It was a brisk 27 degrees, cloudy and a slight breeze. We had 26 different species.
The highlights were a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches that fed out of some of the birders
hands. We also had a good look at a Barred Owl, perched high up in a pine tree, observed by all.
