Believe it or not, I was driving along a back road in Nebraska searching for raptor nests and listening to the inauguration on the radio and when Obama walked out on the stage, a Bald Eagle was circling over my head. Either an amazing coincidence or and omen. --- On Tue, 1/20/09, Joe Faulkner <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Joe Faulkner <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [Ohio-birds] inauguration birds To: [log in to unmask] Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 6:46 PM -----Inline Attachment Follows----- Fellow birders, I was watching the inauguration from my sunroom this afternoon, when I decided to start a new list, since we were starting a new era in history. I wanted to list birds seen during the Obama Era. During his 18 minute speech, I counted 14 species of birds at the feeder. The very first was an American Goldfinch. I thought that was quite appropriate. More important than any bird I might see, I got my country back.
