Sunday: Three Northern Harriers (2-F, 1-M) surveying the fallow ground
to the north of Kuhlwein Road. Another ringtail was quartering the silo
swamp area.

Also seen was a huge Rough Legged Hawk, freakishly big. Again in the
Kuklwein Road pasture.

No SE Owls yet.

Isn't interesting that in a few short years after letting these fields
"go native", some of what I assume must be the target species are
already wintering at this ODNR site? Bravo to the Division I say.

Does anyone know what the future land acquisition plans are for Battelle
Darby? If some of the large agricultural tracts were allowed to go
fallow, you would probably have a site to rival any in central Ohio.
