Ohio Dominican's Ornithology course visited Pickerington Ponds this morning. We started looking out over frozen Ellis Pond from the park/naturalist office area, then walked Yellowlegs Trail up to Killdeer Trail and then out to Pintail Marsh. Everything was frozen, but we enjoyed a good show of raptors. Highlights: Rough-legged Hawk: at least 4, most around Pintail Marsh Red-shouldered Hawk: 1 or 2 young birds Red-tailed Hawk: multiple Northern Harrier: 3 American Black Duck: 3 flying over I put up a few bird pictures here: http://blakemathys.com/pickerington.html Blake Mathys --------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Mathys, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Environmental Science Ohio Dominican University Office: Sansbury Hall 213 Office Phone: (614) 251-4527 --------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
