The Rookery 10110 Cedar Road, Munson Township, OH

&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackbrook will host a bird walk at <a href="https://geaugaparkdistrict.org/park/the-rookery/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Rookery</a> in Geauga County. Birders of all skill levels are invited to join this walk south of Fowler's Mill Golf Course.
&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rookery is part of the Chagrin River Corridor Important Bird Area, a designation by the National Audubon Society. High-quality wetlands, riparian habitat along the state-designated scenic Chagrin River and a beech-maple forest provide habitats for 179 bird species <a href="https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1550970/bird-list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">listed on eBird.</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackbrook's first visit here last month yielded 34 species including Gray-cheeked Thrush, Cedar Waxwings, Swamp Sparrows and two Sandhill Cranes.
&nbsp;&nbsp; As the group birds the 1.5-mile, gravel Interurban Trail, they’ll follow the same route taken by the Cleveland &amp; Eastern Traction Company's electric-powered trains, which ran from 1899-1925. The Rookery is the site of the C&amp;E Junction between lines serving Cleveland to Chardon and a branch south to Burton and Middlefield. The restroom does not have running water.
&nbsp;&nbsp; Since Geauga Park District will close The Rookery for hunting Sunday, November 22, Blackbrook will sponsor a walk at Headwaters Park instead at 8:00 am. Park by the Headwaters boathouse at 13365 Old State Road in Claridon Twp.
&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackbrook will be back at The Rookery January 24 since the December walk would be the same day as their Christmas Bird Count, which is conducted in Lake County.
&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackbrook Audubon will have binoculars to lend out at this IBA walk. Email <a href="mailto:blackbrookaud@aol.com">blackbrookaud@aol.com</a> for more information. Blackbrook covers Ashtabula, Geauga and Lake counties as a chapter of National Audubon Society.
