Hello all,

Birded around some of the duck habitat this morning in
Paulding County and came up with a few species. No
terribly huge numbers on any species yet (except
Canada Goose) but the number of Ruddies and Scaup are
increasing. Not seen today but present also this week
has been Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, and a lone female
Wood Duck. The best surprise of this morning was a
flyover pair of Rough-legged Hawks at the Nature
Center pond. A full list of species is provided below.
A note to any in the area who may be out birding today
– be forewarned as to the presence of several duck
hunters on the south side of the Paulding Reservoir.
Best of luck to you all and happy birding!
