Hello Ohio Birders, Joan Fendrick and I birded Killdeer Plains this afternoon. Birds of note included: two snow geese among gazillions of Canada geese at Pond 27; two rough-legged hawks (one dark, one light); one extremely light red-tailed hawk that at first I thought might be a snowy owl; at least seven short-eared owls along C.R. 71 just before 5 pm. No owls at the traditional grove off C.R. 71 although a birder we met reported having spooked a barred owl from the grove a few minutes earlier. Happy birding, Dave Horn ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
