Hello, Amongst the thousands I saw one adult Bonaparte's Gull with summer plumage (11.29.06) from the hot water outlet at E. 72nd St. How unusual is it for them to retain the black head this late? Speaking of American Kestrels...saw one today at Gordon Park with something furry looking in it's mouth. I was driving so a quick look was all. No sign of the Black-Legged Kittiwake at E. 72nd St. either today or yesterday. There were two Columbus birders who said they had been there from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. without seeing it. Also stopped by to look for the Ross' Goose 3 days ago with no luck. Good Birding, Hans Clebsch ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
