I took a slow cruise around Coitsville Twp. (Mahoning Co.) this afternoon, and had good luck finding raptors - 2 turkey vultures (FOY for me), 1 red-shouldered hawk, 11 red-tailed hawks (including 5 pairs), and 1 Am. kestrel.  Also seen were a hooded merganser at King's L., e. bluebird, Am. tree sparrow, and c. grackle.  At the Lowellville Cemetary I heard a barred owl calling at 3:55 PM, and saw 3 Am. robins.  Spring is coming!  Craig Holt, Lowellville
