Redhead, Bufflehead, and American Coot will probably overwinter, the others will likely move farther south (but I believe it varies from winter to winter). -

Today was somewhat annoying as I spent the first 2 1/2 hours of my afternoon mostly driving around a big lake and seeing almost no birds aside from my first stop. But then I headed to a different lake and got two lifers, so the day was saved (aside from the money wasted on gas): Hueston Woods... -

I'm not sure if it ever caught one... I never was able to get a good look at it, but I saw just enough to know that it wasn't our usual bird-chaser (Cooper's Hawk), and was too big for Merlin. -

I had the best day birding of my entire life today. I got 50 species, which included 13 species of warbler, 10 shorebird species, 13 new Ohio birds and 10 lifers. Don't give me credit for the shorebirds, though. A very nice and helpful guy found them for me with his scope and identified them for... -

Did the AOS split the crossbills, or are you using a different checklist? -
How's your 2021 list going?
I'm up to a pitiful 99 species for the year, but considering my 2020 total was 99, I'm not doing too bad. Also all but 1 of the species on my list were within 20 miles of my house (most seen within 1 mi). Listed in taxonomic order, not order seen: (Bold species are lifers) Canada Goose Mallard...
