On Oct 18, I was fortunate to have a 4 to 5 minute observation of a juvenile Goshawk at Caesar Creek State Park in Warren County. The bird was seen on the road to the beach, and was perched just about 4 feet off the ground quite near the park road. I watched it drop to the ground after prey several times. On Oct 19 at Grand Lake St Mary's Fish Hatchery, a few shorebirds were present as follows: 1 Baird's Sandpiper, 4 Dunlin, 15 Pects, 6 Least, 1 Semi-palm sandpiper, 6 Greater Yellowlegs and 9 Lesser Yellowlegs.
