I think Franklin county. I headed up here this afternoon as I was hoping for
a Pheasant! I am told this is still an area with a breeding population. And
countable. No success though. That pond along the exceedingly wet Teal
trail had a nice assortment of waterfowl. There hasn't been much down
here in my usual spots. SW Ohio. A friend and I hit the Oxbow indiana 
trip. Quiet.... of course the weather didn't help Sat. 

Highlights from today

2 Trumpeters - I was told Trumpeters have been there. I will change my
report. Not a great look as i didnt lug my scope with me. But I just looked
at my pics. Should be Trumpeter from the bill. And my first thought as I
saw them roosting was “mute swans here. oh no....” They were big. But 
a number of us were fooled in NJ once. Once we got that front view of
the bill, it turned out to be a big tundra! I am always open to correction
with these swans. Just give me a couple days to upload pics.

5 BW Teal
17 Shovellers 
2 Gadwall
2 GW Teal
2 Lesser Scaup
2 Pied billed Grebe. One was calling! I love that sound! 
17 coot
2 Snipe - One birding group had 14! 

Good birding all.
