I made a quick stop at Pickerington Ponds Metro Park in Columbus this 
morning. I wasn't dressed for the cold so didn't stick around too long. 
There is lots of open water and there were lots of ducks. The only two spots 
I checked were Ellis Pond and Teal Pond.

Canada Goose
Green-winged Teal

Pintail--several dozen
Northern Shoveler

Canvasback. Saw one male in the back section of Teal Pond.
Redhead--lots
