September 4, 2016 - Brecksville Reservation

We ventured out to Brecksville Reservation for Labor Day Weekend birding.

A beautiful Great Blue Heron fishing in the Cuyahoga River

A monarch butterfly

While we've seen them often in parking lots and near the roads, but this is our first picture of a Killdeer

A female mallard on the banks of the river


A hairy woodpecker

A red-bellied woodpecker

We saw a whole pack of female red-breasted merganser



A group of female mallards and what we think is an American Black Duck

Fun at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

We recently visited the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and we saw lots of interesting animals, including some exotic birds. Enjoy the pictures!
