Further to Rob Thorn's sightings, I had a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks
cruising and calling near Dublin Scioto High School (Columbus suburb)
yesterday (Feb. 23). I also had the first Red-winged Blackbirds taking up
territories at the pond in front of the school.

The Red-shouldered Hawks are irregular visitors to this neighborhood in Fall
and especially Spring but I do not see them in mid-Winter.
