To everyone one who replied to query concerning unidentified raptor: it looks like it was a juv. bald eagle . That's a lifer for me,having seen a pair of adults in a nest near Melbourne,Florida after I graduated from college So that's great to see any kind of eagle here in Ohio and anywhere ! Thanks again everyone and good birding for all ! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
