I'm wondering if a few folks can suggest one or two places in the Columbus area for some beginning birding with a child. My nephew (almost age 9) from Atlanta wants to go birding tomorrow morning (Saturday). His exact words on arriving in Ohio were "Hi Auntie Ann, what new birds can you show me?". I'm thinking about either Greenlawn Cemetery or Pickerington Ponds. We'll only have a few hours in mid-morning... Please reply privately "off list". Sincerely, Ann Oliver, Cincinnati p.s. Ian, officially "nine" on Sunday, wants a birding field guide instead of a "Toys R Us" gift for his birthday! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
