Hi All, Just returned from circling Grand Lake St Marys with my 11yo Grandson (home from school) He did pretty well IDing birds! AVOCET!!!! Bald Eagle Immatures - 3 CAGO 200+ Mallards (Austin ID'd) Ring-billed and 1 Herring Gull Killdeer A Kestrel Mourning Doves G & L Yellow legs N Shovelers C Mergansers G Egrets G Blue Herons (Austin likes these) Redtailed Hawks Coot Pied Billed Grebe I was really proud of Austin. Though he does go with Grandma some (not as much as I would like) he was able to ID some of them. We had Jim McCormic's Birds of Ohio and talked about the different field marks. And he took some photos of the IM Eagle and Avocet. All in all a GREAT DAY playing with my grandson!
