I was hoping that we could find six raptor species on Wilderness Road just south of Funk Bottoms Wildlife Refuge today. We saw three for sure -- a pair of Red-tailed Hawks, two Rough-legged hawks, and a pair of Bald Eagles. We **may** have also seen two others. A Northern Harrier has been there other days and one may have appeared south of Wilderness Road, but didn't stay in view long enough to be sure. And, just maybe, I might have had a glimpse of the Turkey Vulture that has been frequenting the corner of Wilderness Road and Elyria Road. The owner of the nearby house showed me pictures. I saw a big black bird east of Elyria, but only got a glimpse. The sixth species I thought we had a chance to find was an American Kestrel -- we often see them on Wilderness Road, but with the cold and snow they seem to have sought better habitat for voles. Three species makes a pretty good morning of wintery birding.
