Happy Old Year, All!

            I searched for the reported Snowy Owl northwest of Circleville
this morning and, as others have experienced recently, had no luck.  The
outing was not in vain, however, as I saw numerous other raptors.  The
morning's list included:



-American Kestrel - 5

-Red-tailed Hawk - 4-5

-Northern Harrier - 4, including one hunting male that flushed up a rabbit,
doubled back on it, then apparently decided it was either too quick or too
large and flew on

-Great Blue Heron - 1, in the slough near the Commercial Point Road /
Florence Chapel Road junction

-Common Loon - 1, at the Island Road quarries closer to Circleville
(presumably this species - its head was tucked in)



On another note, does anyone have a good standardized list (or link to one)
of four-letter bird codes (some apparently call them "alpha codes").  I have
searched a bit on-line for such a list and have found several, but there are
discrepancies between them!  Especially useful would be one focused on birds
of Ohio or eastern North America (so I don't have to wade through tinamous
and such).  Any suggestions would be useful, as I do find these codes easier
to use in my field notes.  Thanks!
