At Antrum, the lake was only partially frozen, but had only pulled in a few Mallards geese and Coots, with a flock of Ring-billed Gulls loafing on the ice shelf. The adjoining Olentangy river had some roosting Great Blues and fair numbers of geese and mallards. The surrounding riparian forest was more lively, with lots of woodpeckers (including drumming Downies & Hairies) and flock birds, but nothing very unusual besides a Winter wren rooting [...]43_1Feb200701:21: [log in to unmask] |

Two Merlins were seen this afternoon at Calvary Cemetery in Garfield Heights.
In my opinion, they appeared to be the same birds I have observed in
previous years, especially the male. The female was in Section 85 and went to roost
at 6:18 p.m. I followed her as she headed low and north until I lost her in
the trees. The male was in a pine in Section 83 and was still there at 6:31
p.m. when I left to look for the Eastern Screech-Owl in Section 11. However,
while I was out of state, the tree was cut down!!!!! (I hope to relocate it.)
Also observed:
American Kestrel - 1, male
Canada Goose - in 4 groups (31, 23, 14, and 4 landing)
Ring-billed Gull - 17, flying over
Delorme 41A6
