This is my first time posting here and my first time trying to see how many birds I could count for January. I only had 26 for Ohio. I'll try harder to beat that next year (won't be too hard, that is a low #). I tried for the Short-eared Owl at Frohring Meadows, but no luck for me. Was hoping that I could see a loon but none of those either.
