I had a rough day at work so I decided to unwind by stopping at Antrim Park on the way home. I saw quite a few interesting things. Red-Winged Blackbirds (the females were really flirting with the males) Blue Jays (I saw two of them carrying nesting material) American Robins Red-Tailed Hawk Grackles Canada Geese Mallards (many males but only one female-is absence of females a breeding evidence code?) Buffleheads Lesser Scaups Ruddy Ducks Hooded Mergansers Horned Grebe Common Loon Tree Swallows Goldfinches Hairy Woodpeckers (one was drumming) Downy Woodpeckers (the male and female together) Red-Bellied Woodpecker Northern Cardinals (male and female together) Turkey Vulture Belted Kingfisher Song Sparrows Al La Sala Columbus, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
