On a recent balmy morning, members of the Greater Akron Audubon Society gathered at Brust Park in Munroe Falls. Armed with binoculars, the group had a mission: the summer bird census. Every June since 1978, chapter members have spread across Summit County for 10 days to count all the birds they see and hear. This year’s summer bird census was June 6-15. The goal of the breeding bird census is to track trends in the types and numbers of species.
