not ohio, but close i hit Hawkfest this morning @ Lake Erie Metro Park (20 min south of Detroit). from 9:00 until I left at 3:30 there were around 30,000 raptors counted. many passing overhead easily seen without optics. mostly broadies - but mix in baldies, harriers, sharpies, ospreys and 3+ swainson's. a resident osprey thrilled the crowd twice by catching a fish 50 yards upriver and carrying the meal directly overhead. good people! buster ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
