Sorry for the late entry; I am at the Ohio Veterinary Medical
Association's annual meeting in Columbus, with limited Internet access.

On Wed, Feb. 18, I saw one of my neighborhood American Kestrels flying
down to land on top of a power pole along Felicity-Higgonsport Rd.  To
my surprise, he landed not on the pole, but on the female kestrel who
was already perched there, and copulation was observed.  I knew there
was a resident pair along this stretch of road, but this is the first
time I have confirmed breeding behavior.

This is, unfortunately, not in my OBBA block, but I wil be sure to
record it when I get back home.

As an aside, I am staying with my sister, who lives near Green Lawn
Cemetary.  I did a drive-through yesterday (Fri) with nothng
particularly notable, except for a huge flock of robins at section
81/84.
