Hello Everybody: The Common Loons are on the move. Drove over to Pleasant Hill Lake after church this AM. My purpose was to check on our Purple Martin colony site. Have not seen our first Martin there (thank goodness). Sadly, I have been finding dead Tree Swallows in nest boxes on our Bluebird/Tree Swallow trail. It is a sad site indeed. Mother Nature has "played" a rather nasty trick on these "little guys". Snow flakes have replaced flying insects. On a positve note, at Pleasant Hill Lake I counted at least 50 Common Loons. Happy Birding, Don Plant, Perrysville, Ohio ( Mohican Country ) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
