Today at Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area we observed 4-5 Rough-legged hawks (all light phase), most of which were along Mahan-Denham Rd. A single CANVASBACK was the highlight at Pintail Pond, where it was diving amongst Canada geese, Tundra swans, Red-heads, Ring-necked ducks, Gadwall, and Wigeon. We also viewed an adult Bald Eagle bathing in the water on Hoagland-Blackstub Rd. We stayed until dusk hoping for Short-eared owls to no avail. Is there anywhere in NE Ohio where one can reliably find these? John G Petruzzi _________________________________________________________________ Experience the magic of the holidays.
