Well I made it!! I broke through 100 species for January all in SW Ohio! Went to visit my parents this evening & my dad said earlier in the day he had found 2 female COMMON MERGANSERS at Kilby Rd gravel pit so we ran down there around 5 pm & they were still there. Number 100! Stopped at Rapid Run Park before dark & saw the ear tufts of the Great Horned Owl sitting in the nest pan. Great Day! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
