On that note my daughter and I drove from Johnstown(Licking County) to Wayne
County Airport. We got the Snowy owl(thanks Su!), a Rough legged hawk,
Immature bald eagle, Pileated, Kestrel and Red tailed hawk. Not too shabby a
day.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Funk Bottoms raptors, Wayne County

I was hoping that we could find six raptor species on Wilderness Road just
south of Funk Bottoms Wildlife Refuge today. We saw three for sure -- a pair
of Red-tailed Hawks, two Rough-legged hawks, and a pair of Bald Eagles. We
**may** have also seen two others. A Northern Harrier has been there other
days and one may have appeared south of Wilderness Road, but didn't stay in
view long enough to be sure. And, just maybe, I might have had a glimpse of
the Turkey Vulture that has been frequenting the corner of Wilderness Road
and Elyria Road. The owner of the nearby house showed me pictures. I saw a
big black bird east of Elyria, but only got a glimpse.
The sixth species I thought we had a chance to find was an American Kestrel
-- we often see them on Wilderness Road, but with the cold and snow they
seem to have sought better habitat for voles. Three species makes a pretty
good morning of wintery birding.
