> I received a few phone calls and emails about a Great Horned Owl perched on a building across from the INA building in downtown Lakewood. I just went to confirm it, and it is fake. Just giving birders a heads up in the area. > I knew that when they put that thing up it would fool a few people. There's also a house on Hilliard that has a similar fake owl in the front yard, and it could fool a few people in the dark. By the way, that's only half a block away from where I saw two screech owls Monday night, on trees on the treelawns of Belle. These were real. :-) And, of course, a few blocks away is the Westerly, atop which a peregrine falcon perches regularly. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
