WCAS Virtual Field Trip to West Creek Reservation January 2022 Recording
Dates: January 1-31, 2022
Location: Cleveland Metroparks West Creek Reservation, 2277 W. Ridgewood Drive, Parma, Ohio 44134 Map
Featured Bird Species: Hawks (Red-tailed, Red-shouldered) and Eastern Bluebird
Notes: It is easier to spot hawks (and all birds, really) when the trees have dropped their leaves! Also be sure to check the skies for these soaring birds of prey. Less daylight means they will be more aggressively hunting. Also, bluebirds should pop against the winter’s brown and white scenery. Please review the West Creek Reservation trail map for parking, restrooms, and trails. Park hours are 6:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. 

The Virtual Field Trip series is an option for engaging with nature and community while adhering to social distancing guidelines necessitated by COVID-19. Participants in the program independently visit a pre-selected location throughout a given month and then report back to leader Michelle Brosius with bird lists, journaling, and photographs regarding the visit. These items are then compiled into a scrapbook that is shared during a virtual meetup the second Wednesday following the field trip month.
