Hi Everyone, My husband and I were just at Dock 2 at Burr Oak Lake in southern Morgan County (southeastern Ohio). A mature bald eagle was skimming the water there before soaring up higher. He (or she) then proceeded to circle giving us great views thru the binoculars. First one I have seen in over a year. I also have a screech owl that has been in the door of the owl box for the last 2 weeks except for 2 or 3 times. For years I had them nest in the old box before it fell apart so am hoping that once again after a year and a new box, that they are nesting here. Other birds in our neck of the woods: goldfinches 30+ towhees 1male and 1 female (all winter) Carolina wrens 2 (also all winter) Phoebe first of the year heard today Woodpeckers: Red Bellied Hairy Downy Flicker Pileated Blue Jays Blue Birds Robins Titmice Chickadees White breasted Nuthatch Crows - many Red Winged Black Birds Starlings Grackles Cardinals Killdeer - heard first yesterday Mourning Doves Juncos We are in the woods with ponds all around us. Makes for alot of different types of birds.
