    It's not too late to enjoy a relaxing day, enjoying Hinckley
    Reservation and learning the history of the reservation and
    Hinckley, Ohio.



    Cleveland Metroparks is yours to explore when you take part in
    �Hear Here!� - an Audio Tour of Cleveland Metroparks, which runs
    through December 31. 



    Visitors of all ages can enjoy a half-day adventure on a
    self-led tour celebrating five different sites in Hinkley
    Reservation in Hinckley Township. Spend a morning or afternoon
    alone or with a group of people, hop in the car, and get ready to
    tune your radio to 1620 AM at each �Hear Here!� site for
    interesting facts about the area you are visiting.



    The Hear Here! tour is perfect for all ages and allows park
    patrons the flexibility of experiencing the tour all in one day or
    by making different stops on different days.



    At one of the stops, visitors can learn about the
    history and origin of the Buzzard Day. What originally began as an
    astute observation by a park ranger, Buzzard Day, or Buzzard Sunday
    as it is now called, became a holiday that attracts thousands of
    pairs of eyes. No one knows for certain why turkey vultures
    (buzzards) return to Hinckley Reservation every March 15. Could it
    be because of an attempt by a group of farmers to rid the area of
    harmful wild animals or is it the inviting environment that is
    perfect for roosting buzzards?



    Learn more about the Buzzard Roost and turkey
    vultures, as well as the four other sites on this audio tour. To
    experience the wonders of the five sites even more, visitors are
    encouraged to get out and explore by hiking, picnicking or just
    relaxing at the site.



    The broadcast may be in progress.  But the
    message repeats itself and can be listened to more than once to
    ensure all the fascinating details about the site and its
    surroundings are covered.



    For maps or directions to help locate �Hear Here!�
    sites, visit www.clevelandmetroparks.com or call 216-635-3200.



    Don't miss your chance to uncover the mystery
    surrounding the celebrated scavenger birds of Hinckley Reservation
    on the �Hear Here!�  audio tour of Cleveland
    Metroparks - part of your life naturally.
