Based on previous reports of a kestrel we checked out the Audubon Center 
this afternoon. The kestrel was present when we arrived shortly after 2 
PM. Got several good looks as it flew between telephone poles and some 
trees just north of the center.  Later on we spotted it soaring over the 
Scioto as we walked the path below the center.

Other sightings:
Ring-billed gulls (several flocks of 20+) soaring over the river
RT hawk - 1
Possible imm. Bald Eagle - could not get good enough look for positive ID
Hooded merganser - 3-4 males, several females on Scioto, observed from 
path north of Audubon Center
Downy woodpecker - 1 along path

At Audubon Center feeders (many of each species unless noted):
Downy woodpecker - 1
Goldfinch
Northern cardinal
House finch
Song sparrow (5-6)
WT sparrow (2 females)
House sparrow.

All in pretty good for a foggy day!

Good birding, Sharon
