Well the sandhills are moving. I heard a flock last night, Rich McCarty saw 30 fly over and Mark Zloba saw 100 flying over, which we ran out to see, but missed them somehow. All in Adams County. So you all better be watching quick! Pete ________________________________ From: Ohio birds on behalf of Allen T.

I was in the parking lot of Oakwoods Nature Preserve, which is immediately SW of Findlay, which itself is in the middle of Hancock County. The birds were flying in 2 "V's" of roughly equal size. They were about 100 feet up and flying in a SSE direction.
