Stopped by Killbuck today to see if I could find any interesting species.  These were the 
highlights.

Blue-winged Teal
Mallard
Northern Shoveler
Hooded Merganser
Ring-necked Duck
Lesser Scaup
Cooper’s Hawk (one adult with mouse in talons)
Canvasback
American Wigeon
Herring Gull
Ruddy Duck
Bufflehead
Lesser Yellowlegs
Greater Yellowlegs
Wilson’s Snipe
Pectoral Sandpiper
Bonaparte’s Gull (several were following Tractor tilling field along 226)

Shorebirds were located across from Wright Marsh in partially drained pond.

Also drove by Funk Bottoms quickly.  Water levels are down very low in comparison to when 
the Eurasian Wigeon was around.  The main activity was on a wetland 500 yards to the south-
east of the observation platform.  Many ring-billed and Bonaparte’s Gulls were swarming the 
area filled with coots.  Behind the wetland in a meadow was a pair of Sandhill Cranes.

Finished the day at Mohican State Park and Pleasant Hill Lake.  At Mohican there were several 
Brown Creepers around as well as Eastern Phoebes.  At Pleasant Hill there were at least 11 
Common loons in full breeding plumage.  There was also 5 Greater Scaup as well as several 
Cormorants.

I finished with 60 species for the day, it was a fun little outing.  Good Birding.
