Hello, A short drive around the Grandview Heights area late this morning turned up a (female?) MERLIN near the intersection of Dublin Rd. and Stella Ct. and a lone MUTE SWAN (domestic or feral?) in the small lake south of Dublin Rd. and Watermark Dr. Below is a link to photos of these two birds, along with Black-legged Kittiwake and Boneparte's Gull photos from Hoover Reservoir this past weekend. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauljhurtado/ Good birding, Paul Hurtado Ithaca, NY (and Pueblo, CO) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
