Stopped by Watermark Quarry on way to Pickerington Ponds.  One lonely 
loon, 24 Ring-necked duckes, 4 Pie-billed Grebes and of course mallards 
and canadian geese.  The Mute Swan and the hooded mergansers had 
departed.  Pickerington Ponds had lots of ducks: mallards, gadwall, 
shoverlers.  The most fun was dozens of new arrived tree sparrows as we 
hiked along the ponds.
