Hello!

Just a quick note on a few rarities reported within the last few days  that
were observed today by myself, my wife Ricki, Dan Sanders, and Doreene
Linzell.  This morning, we observed the male Eurasian Wigeon in  Pond 3 at Killdeer
WA, and early this afternoon we observed the Red-Throated  Loon (along with 9
or 10 Common Loons) at CJ Brown reservoir in Buck Creek  State Park.  The best
vantage point for the Red-Throated Loon was from the  point of land adjacent
to the parking area downhill from the Nature  Center.  The two Ross's Geese
reportedly yesterday at Old Reid Park were at  the beach of CJ Brown reservoir
feeding in the lawn area with some Canada  Geese.  The slightly larger of the
two Ross's appeared to be a juvenile  (see Sibley's for distinguishing marks).
We had some great close up  views of the Red-Throated Loon (with the sun at
our backs) and especially the  Ross's Geese.  In the mud flats of the upper
reaches of the reservoir, we  also observed a lone early Least Sandpiper.
Directions to CJ Brown/Buck Creek  are on the OOS web site, whereas a map of Killdeer
is on the ODNR web  site.
