SEASONAL HIGHLIGHTS: The first week of March saw widespread reports of
Turkey Vultures, Killdeer, peenting American Woodcocks, Tree Swallows,
Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, and Brown-headed Cowbirds. All
are expected at this time. A Purple Martin at Maumee Bay State Park is
early.
SPECIES IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE REVIEW-LIST SPECIES. Details of
these sightings are desired by The Ohio Bird Records Committee. Careful
observation, not ornithological expertise, is the only qualification
for submitting your data. For details and pointers see:

CACKLING GOOSE: Rick Asamato reported on the 1st that the six seen last
week were still present near the east end of Cowan Lake, Clinton

75 in Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area.
Common Redpoll: Reported this week from publicly accessible feeders at
Big Creek Park visitor center, Geauga County, and at Carlise

HOARY REDPOLL: The bird visiting Levi Yoder's home near Trail, Holmes
County (Delorme p.51 D5) was reported on the 1st, 3rd and 6th. The
