I am sending this report for Peter and Lois Meyst. They observed 35 Tundra Swans and a Ruddy Shelduck today at Pond 27 at the Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area in Wyandot County. The birds were initially observed at 1:00 PM and they were still present at 3:00 PM when Peter and Lois were leaving. Wyandot CH-68 goes along the south side of Pond 27. Several Bald Eagles were reported in the vicinity of Pond 27 and a Chukar was seen near the Sportsman's Club.

for Peter and Lois,
Charlie Bombaci
