Yesterday morning while sitting in my living room high above downtown Columbus, I observed a female kestrel fly to just outside the window at about 8AM. It stayed there long enough for me to observe the familar falcon-styled wing shape and then it disappeared. Later, at about 12:15 PM , along East Broad in Bexley near Cassady Ave., I observed a large, female Sharp-Shinned hawk on the sidewalk ,perhaps waiting for unwary prey to arrive nearby. Lastly, at about 12:50 pm, a Cooper's hawk was observed at a distance just south of Town And Country Plaza.
