Greetings-------after weeks of stagnation here at Lowellville (actually Poland Twp.) , I have a new (to me) auto and am ready to go mobile (see The Who, Who's Next). Anyways, birds of moderate interest in the greater Youngstown area recently were: c. goldeneyes, hooded mergansers, p-b grebe. wild turkeys, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper's hawks, red-tailed hawks, red-shouldered hawks, Am. kestrels, ring-billed gulls (along the fairly sterile Mahoning R.), belted kingfishers, n. flickers, pileated woodpecker, Carolina wrens, e. bluebirds, Am. robins, n. mockingbirds, low numbers of Am. tree sparrows. The brown creeper which was regular at my suet feeder has not appeared since the weather turned wintry. No harriers recently.
