Hi Paul,
A Short-tailed Hawk was reported from Mentor on May 17, 2006.
I may have jumped the gun, but it looks like this bird might
not have been accepted by the records committee? Apologies.
(nb, I in no way want to cast aspersions on the original
observers, or the Ohio Records Committee with this posting!)
The Short-tailed Hawk from Michigan was photographed and
accepted by their records committee, report here:

Best,
Tim
