I had the opportunity to hit Killdeer Plains a couple of times this weekend and a few spots Northwest of Columbus. Highlights: 50 - 70 Ring-Necked Ducks on the pond on the west side of Hyland-Cory Rd., just north of Dublin-Jerome High School. Several Red-Tail Hawks and a few Kestrels scattered about between Hilliard and Glacier-Ridge park. Killdeer Plains (Friday afternoon and Sunday) Bald Eagles (all juveniles) - roughly 7. Got a picture of 5 of them chomping down on a deer carcass. Didn't see any adults. Short Ear Owls - 10 Corner of 71 and 108 Northern Harriers - several Kestrels - 4 Long Eared Owl - 1 at the pine grove Red Tail Hawks - several Pheasant - 1 Horned Larks - several Tree Sparrows - dozens (everywhere) Northern Flicker - 2 Bob Hilliard, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
