We had a wonderful day. We went to a couple nature parks in northern Ohio and saw some of the most beautiful birds and scenery.
I’ve always loved birds and birding is the perfect hobby. I got hooked a dozen years ago and have an extensive life-list. But life gets busy and taking the time to visit wild-life locations can be easily moved to the back burner.
So my wife gave me a wonderful gift. She planned this trip to go to one of the top 10 birding locations in the U.S. While it was a little early to get the full migration, we saw birds EVERYWHERE!! I couldn’t believe how many birds and how close they came. We saw Golden Crowned Kinglets on every branch. Winter wrens, wood thrush, ducks, geese, herons, buzzards and hawks were visible through the glasses! It was quite exciting.
After hiking all day, we returned to the hotel and swam in the pool, watched basketball and slept soundly.
