I visited The Wilds (DeLorme 70 B4) today in Muskingum County and found the
following birds:

Rough-legged Hawk - 13 (the most numerous showing of this species this
winter for me at The Wilds)
Red-tailed Hawk - 9 (one with jess attached)
Harrier - 5
Short-eared Owl - 2
Canada Goose - 500+
Ring-necked Duck - 1,000+ in flight - these birds entered the Wilds area
from the South and circled around the area several times before retreating
South
Crow - 5
Horned Lark - 9

I observed quite a bit of unidentified waterfowl flying through the area as
well today - birds were scoped from a great distance. Though a good effort,
I could not locate any eagles today.
Also, I stopped in McConnellsville in Morgan County on my way home and
looked around on the Muskingum River and found:

Canada Goose - 200+
Mute Swan - 6
Hooded Merganser - 5
Mallard - 100+
Ring-billed Gull - 9
Great Blue Heron - 1
