Greetings all good birders. Couple sightings from the last few days that may be of mild interest to some: Black-billed Cuckoo- a pair calling several hundred meters apart (good views of one of them) at Camp Oty'Okwa in Hocking County (near Old Man's Cave) in the AM of 7/8 Osprey- hovering over a large pond/small lake on the west side of Rt. 33 just south of Gender Rd. between Columbus and Lancasater. Observed in the PM of 7/8 as I was traveling 65mph (and I didn't linger). Red-shouldered Hawk- a very vocal juvenal (that afforded great views) near Indianola and 13th in Columbus. Another was calling near Indianola and 15th around noon today (7/9). Good birding to all. Mike Yough Columbus -- "Prosperity knits a man to the world.
