Ohio birders,
Within the last hour, I had a simply gorgeous adult Northen Goshawk at the Obee Road/295 location in the Oak Openings. It was not in any type of migratory mode - it flew in low from the south, and perched on the south side of Obee only 20yds from where I stood. Wow, what an impressive raptor that is. It flew to the north, low over the thicket and out of sight. I suspect it is hanging around.
20 minutes later, both Pine Grosbeaks flew in from the north together and landed close to their usual position. For the first time, I was able to actually watch them feed, only a few feet off the ground and away from the road.
I type this message from the Mallard Lake feeders in Oak Openings Park where there are 2 Common Redpolls and a half dozen Pine Siskins.
Feeling a lot like the U.P.!
