A short 45 minute birding excursion to Pickerington Ponds on Friday
(Jan 18) turned up the following:
Wood Duck Picnic Area:
American Kestrel (on the power lines along Bowen Road, always see one
there)
Mourning Dove 3
American Crow 4 (watched 3 carry meat through the air into a tree)
Carolina Chickadee
House Finch 3 (male) and 3 (female)
Downy Woodpecker
White-crowned Sparrow
Ellis Pond:
Mallard 16
Ring-billed Gull
Mute Swan (one all by itself)
Red-tailed Hawk
Canada Goose 2
Black Ducks (large flock)
Then this morning (Sat, Jan 19), I went to Hoover Reservoir and found:
At the dam:
Hooded Merganser 89
Canada Goose 15
Mallard 48
Ring-billed Gull 60
Lesser Scaup 2
Red-tailed Hawk (immature)
American Robin 16
Tufted Titmouse 2
Northern Cardinal 5
European Starling 2
Blue Jay
Mallard 27 (another group)
Downy Woodpecker 3
Carolina Chickadee 2
I stopped at a couple different places on my way to Galena. I found
many Canada Geese, some House Finches, and other usual birds. Area E
yielded three Northern Shovelers (1 male and 2 females). I thought I
saw some Dark-eyed Juncos at Area G. At Oxbow Island, Weiss Road, and
the boardwalk, I did not see much other than more Canada Geese and
Mallards.
