This morning I joined up with some other birders for a Columbus Audubon 
trip to the Wilds.  Al Parker met us there in the parking lot and we all 
piled into his van for an 8 hour long trip up and down country roads.  At 
lunch he kept us well informed with his educational raptor presentation.

Raptors ruled the day.  Unfotunately, the golden eagle wasn't one of 
them.  The short-eared owls declined to put in an appearance, too.  

Despite the weather, we were able to put together a pretty respectable 
list.  That list is as follows.

Great Blue Heron
