Sorry about the tardy post. Yesterday morning a trip through Killdeer Plains proved worthwhile. On 115 just after the headquarters we found a Northern Shrike and just seconds later a beautiful Rough-legged Hawk was hovering over the same field. Incidentally these were #100 and #101 for January. Pretty much all of the usual suspects around the area. Also in the area: 6 Northern harriers a flock of about 20 Lapland Longspurs following the lead of a flock of Horned Larks just a few yards ahead of them 2 Long Eared Owls in the same Cedar before the farm reported earlier 4 Red Headed Woodpeckers along 123 For the drive from Vermilion to Harpster mostly along Rt. 4 we had a total of 12 Red Tailed Hawks and 9 Kestrels Good Birding, Dan ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
