Getting some snow here in NW Ohio, Fremont. My backyard visitors so far 
today (now Noon):
1 Red-bellied Woodpecker
2 Downey Woodpecker
3 White-breasted Nuthatch
1 Mourning Dove
The usual assortment of Cardinals, Blue Jays, House Sparrows.

Drove behind Fremont's water filtration plant. Silver fish, about 1 to 5 
inches, are teaming in this 30ft. wide by 250ft. long output stream. The 
warm open stream attracted:
6 Mallards
1 Belted-Kingfisher
60+ Herring Gulls
40+ Ring-billed Gulls
1 Adult Bald Eagle
1 Imm. Bald Eagle

Through telescope, I witnessed the B. Kingfisher perced on a rock and 
trying to spear the fish without diving in. Never knew Anne Murray's 
song "Fly Away" was about the Snow Bunting. For your pleasure, I put it on 
the CREATE A WILDLIFE FRIENDLY YARD site. Scroll down and enjoy the 
video/song presentation. Also, there's another MYSTERY BIRD CONTEST- WHAT 
IS IT? post as well. Enjoy. Robert
