A nice way to end out a bad year...

While out taking care of business today, I decided to stop and bird a nice looking field adjacent to the Mill Creek in West Chester, Ohio (north of Cincy). Glad I did.

Birds seen included:

4 Wilson's Snipe
6 Eastern Meadowlarks
Several White-crowned, Song, American Tree Sparrows
3 Redtail Hawks
3 American Kestrels
Canada Geese, Mallards, American Black Ducks, Belted Kingfisher,

and this Peregrine Falcon diving on some Mourning Doves: (Keep watching, a Peregrine will soon appear!) P.S. - There is no sound!

    ...that is a good way to round out the year. The video reminds me of the Gilmore Ponds area. I saw Kestrels there Dec 19th during the CBC--would love to have seen the Peregrine! I liked seeing him soar in your video. Happy New Year!
