At least thirty Double-crested Cormorants were perched high in several trees along the west bank of the Scioto River south of downtown at 5:45 PM todasy. The birds were visible briefly as we sped by ramping from I71 N onto the merge of I71 N--I70 W just north of Greenlawn Ave. (no Merlins this eveniong).
