Before the Observer Project I had a website the was pro-Lakewood some of the more fun sections were the Flora and Fauna sections where people sent in their photos of animals and flowers in and around Lakewood.
Seeing some of Joe Ott's amazing bird photos last week in another thread made me think we should start it again
So please post your photos of Fauna in and around Lakewood into this thread.
Thank you.

Turkey Vultures
13 Turkey Vultures, flying through the Emerald Canyon. The vutures come back each year to Hinckley Ohio. "Hinckley is also known for the return of Turkey Vultures each spring. For 23 years a park ranger made note that the Vultures returned each year on March 15. A Cleveland newspaper published this phenomenon in February of 1957. Since then, thousands of photographers, naturalists, ornithologists, and "backyard buzzard watchers" gather each year for what is called the largest organized bird walk in the United States. The community of Hinckley has designated the first Sunday after March 15th as "Buzzard Sunday." The timely return of the Turkey Vulture to Hinckley has even been attributed to the numerous carcasses that were a result of the Great Hinckley Hunt..." Duane Smith Findlay Living

On an early evening watch you can see bunnies/rabbits throughout the entire city. Here one peeks above the grass before running off.

Re: Fauna - In and around Lakewood.
After going through some of my other photos of the Rocky River in the Emerald Canyon.
I could not help but notice how many large fish are in the river. Here are three fish
at least a foot long, as a Heron watches them.
