Thanks to all who straightened me out as to ID's from yesterday's post, tufted titmouse instead of gnatcatcher and goldfinch instead of orchard oriole. Today I hiked the old Dike 14 and saw somewhere between 4 and 7 common loons, mostly out from the point by the lake though 2 were in the harbor when I first arrived, near the hanging tire. Didn't see any warblers but lots of flickers, rw blackbirds, robins, several downies and 6 or 7 various raptors directly overhead, high up. http://www.pbase.com/tileman533/2012&page=13 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
