I also visited the Mosquito Area today.

In North Bloomfield I found: American Kestrel - 1 Red Tail Hawk - 2 Northern Harrier - 2 Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 Turkey - 23 Great Blue Heron - 1 In Mesopotamia: Bald Eagle - 1 adult Red Tail Hawk - 2 Red-shouldered Hawk - 2 American Kestrel - 1 Draw a straight line on a map of Ohio from Kirtland to North Bloomfield. The line will cross through Amish country with rolling hillsides, creeks and wide-open farmlands that are ideal for raptors, snow buntings and shrikes. At the very least, it is a scenic afternoon ride.
