Rob & Sandy Harlan asked me to pass this along: "Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon Sandy and I visited the Harrison Co. Upland Sandpiper spot (as listed on OhioBirds, we were on the access road next to the ODNR's Mine Safety Training Center along Industrial Park Drive, south of Cadiz) and found four Upland Sandpipers with relative ease. Just after 5pm, as we were about to leave, I heard the familiar call of a Common Raven overhead; looking up, we found a little flock of four ravens going over, heading eastward and out of sight. The habitat here is pretty reminiscent of the habitat where we found a raven in Jefferson Co. last June, and where other eastern Ohio ravens have been seen in recent years...rolling grassy hills." Personal note: the section of the sprawling Egypt Valley WA just west of this spot also looks excellent for ravens--same kind of rolling hills, with some high-walls, etc. If you take time to go out here from more populous areas, it might well be worth exploring while you're there.
