Buzzards Return to Hinckley
It’s Buzzard Day! Every year on March 15th the world-famous buzzards return to the Buzzard Roost in Hinckley Reservation.
From the Metroparks website: “March 15th is known as the ‘Ides of March,’ but is also internationally-known as the day the buzzards return to their summer roost at Hinckley Reservation’s Buzzard Roost. Grab the binoculars and search the skies with Cleveland Metroparks Official Buzzard Spotter, Bob Hinkle, and Cleveland Metroparks Chief of Outdoor Education as he searches the early morning sky for the first turkey vultures to return for the year. The search begins at 7 a.m. and continues until the first buzzard returns to the roost.”

Lovely photo. The sun behind the trees is great! I have not been there on the March 15th but I have attended the festival.
