Hi All,
I had the opportunity today to spot 2 Snow Geese-1 White and 1
Blue Morph at the man-made pond at Early Light and Galloway Rds. in
Galloway,Ohio. Today was the day I was able to get a positive ID on
these two birds. I was uncertain about whether the white morph was a
Ross's Goose but today's close inspection proved it to be a Snow
instead. Among the Snow geese were numerous Canadian Geese and
about 3 pairs of Mallards. Sunday afternoon at the Olentangy
Wetlands didn't yield much of interest. My main purpose at the
wetlands was to catch a glimpse of the Merlin which has been spotted
recently at the adjacent cemetery. I was on both sides of the river
but of to no avail. I continued walking down the bike path along
the river when I came upon a few pairs of Mallards and a few Canadian
Geese in the flowing water. Downstream, under and south of the
Dodridge Street bridge, there were approx. 150 + Canadian Geese just
floating peacefully in the river. Return hike back to my vehicle
yielded a plump,male northern cardinal and a few unidentified
sparrows.
