Yesterday I observed 4 Merlin. Sections 85,83(2), 91 and 20. And not one Canada Goose. Tonight in Section 20 I observed the Sec.85 bird eating a House Sparrow, finally something other than Junco! Section 23 had the adult male and the Section 83 bird that went to roost at 5:41 PM. Getting close to closing time! (6:00 PM). Had a Sharp-shinned Hawk out my backyard this morning hunting my feeders. Also at the feeders: 50 + Junco 20+ American Goldfinch 3 Northern Cardinal Way Too Many House Sparrows Lou Gardella **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
