Bob Thobaben, Larry Gara, and I were at Cowan Lake this afternoon with the
Wilmington College ornithology class this afternoon, Sunday, 24 Feb 08. The
cold weather of the last several days has dramatically reduced the amount of
open water, but a good collection of waterfowl continues. We had good views
of the adult female Surf Scoter from the parking lot above the campground
beach. When we got around to the south side, we found Dan Sanders at the
fishing pier. He had found two White-winger Scoters. Scoters are becoming
regular in winter in Southwest Ohio, but it is still noteworthy to have two
species of scoter present at the same time.
Also noted among waterfowl were
Canada Goose several hundred
American Wigeon 2
American Black Duck 20
Mallard Many
Redhead
