Early this morning on my way from Columbus to Washington CH I counted 4 great blue herons along Rte. 62 between the 71 exit and just north of Washington CH. We all rightly lament the loss of habitat, but still it is encouraging to see so many of these wonderful creatures in such a short time. Good birding, Sharon ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
