Thursday morning, Bill Kinkead,Jason Simonis and I decided to travel to a 
few locations in North Central Ohio.  Birding has been rather slow lately 
except for some of the early common migrants.  We ended the day with 76  
species of birds with birds of note listed at the following locations:

     Clear Fork Lake
         1 Adult Bald Eagle in tree  
         2 Great Egrets in NW area of Lake

         1 Adult Bald Eagle on nest on Pleasant Hill Rd, 

     Mohican Gorge overlook area

         Red-shouldered Hawk 
         Red-breasted Nuthatch 

     N.E. Knox County 
         Common Raven--seen at Reed Rd. and Peeler Mill area and a short 
             time later in a tree on Peeler Mill Rd. a short distance from 
             Reed Rd. eating carrion.  We got good looks at the various 
             field marks and characteristics (tail, beak and soaring). 

     Funk Bottoms 
         1 Adult Bald Eagle on nest and 1 immature soaring 
         2 Sandhill Cranes in field N. of 95.  We saw 6, 2 weeks ago.
