Tuesday, Nov. 24:

Today we visited Eastwood Lake and Huffman Metropark, and observed 3
eagles' nests in the area.  For those not familiar with this area,  these sites
are side by side by side along Ohio Route 4.

    Common loon - 1
    Pied-billed grebes - 2
    Belted kingfisher
    Ring-billed gull
    Hooded mergansers - 8
    Mallards
    Canada geese
    Killdeer
    American 'robins'
    House finches
    Dark-eyed juncos
    Carolina chickadees
    Downy and red-bellied woodpeckers
    Northern flicker
    European starlings
    Northern cardinals
    Cedar waxwings
    Mourning doves
    Carolina wrens
    Bald eagle

We ran into an old friend 'Robin' Fell.  She told us about 2 mature  bald
eagles that were building 2 more nests in the area in addition to the  failed
nest from last year !  We wonder whether these are the same 2 eagles  or 2
new ones. *Who can tell ?*  There is hope to establish a videocam  at the
site.  Efforts are being made by an organization to obtain funding  to do so.

Good birding,
Ed and Bev Neubauer, Robin Fell
