I was leaving the State of Ohio Library on East 1st Avenue this afternoon at about 2:45 when I spotted a small raptor carrying a mouse in its claws. After consulting the Cornell site I believe that it was a female kestrel. There is a lot of open space in the vicinity with all the re- development, but I was still surprised. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
