I was parked at the 100th Bomb Group over my lunch break today (around 2 PM). Driving up there were three Red Tailed hawks soaring over the parking lot. Shortly thereafter there was a kettle of 6 or 7 hawks over the western end of the runways. At least two were Rough Legged hawks. As air traffic picked up, many made their way to the east and settled in the various grassy areas between and at the end of the runways. One of which was clearly a juvenile Golden Eagle. I got a good look at it a couple of times and could clearly see the white tail and wing markings. Just before I had to leave, I scanned the ground at the eastern end of the runways and counted 10 raptors (not sure if there were more Golden Eagles, with all of them on the ground a ways off, identification at that point was pretty difficult with just my binoculars). Great day! Kristen p.s., forgive me if my directions are a bit off. I always think of the runways as going E/W vs. N/S. Perhaps they're more NE/SW? ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
