Hello!

Today, Ken and Julie Davis and myself checked out some birding spots in the
central Ohio area.  We went to the following areas in order:   Greenlawn
cemetery, Haul Road quarry lakes, Scioto River below Greenlawn dam,  Olentangy
River near Drake Union, Kiwanis Park, and Glacier Ridge Metro  Park.  The notable
birds seen and/or heard are as follows:

north of the pit and west of the mausoleum.  It stayed in the  tree for a long
time affording us and others great views.
