About an hour ago, 2:50PM, 3/2, I was driving on I-70 through downtown Zanesville. The large raptor soaring above the Muskingum River was an adult bald eagle, white tail and head easily apparent. In other news, this morning Jane and I took a snow-shoed circuit around our successional field. We have a few more inches of snow on Flint Ridge than on the surrounding area. A ring-billed gull flew over our farm. Not a particularly unusual bird, but always noteworthy at our upland location. An inlet of Dillon Reservoir is a little over a mile away, as the gull flies.
