FINALLY!  This morning I headed for a reliable spot along the Chagrin River,
about 1 mile west of Chagrin Falls.  I walked about 4 - 5 minutes north
(downstream) of the small parking area.  I first heard it take-off, then, a
moment later the sounds of wind whistling through its wings as it descended
earthward  in its characteristic spiral pattern - then PEENT ... PEENT!



The first sound was heard  about  6:55am.  I continued to walk the dog in
hopes of finding another bird but no luck.  When I returned to the spot at
7:25 the calling had ceased.  I am sure it will be there again tonight just
before dark if morning is not convenient for you.
