Well, its always fun to report (and see reports of) eagles in the Columbus metro area... Saw an adult in a tree on Sunday 27th, around 5:15 pm, east side of Olentangy River between Henderson Road and North Broadway. Plus, WW Crossbills are gonna kill me. I went to Greenlawn Cemetery three times last week trying to catch them, including birding the entire cemetery on Saturday.... nada, zilch. Did the same thing the previous Saturday... And, just like last week, people report seeing them on Sunday. So on each of the past 2 Sundays they've stopped in.... Oh well, guess I'll have to try Sunday this week, thought they'll probably come on Saturday this week! (starting to become obsessed with them!) Didn't see the Merlin either. Just a small mixed swarm of the usual suspects at the feeders (plus a male YB Sapsucker), and a pair of Red Tails one of which that had just nailed a gray squirrel.
