I was up in Kenton today on business and had a chance to swing through
Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area on my way back. It was fairly devoid of
birds (at least the kind you can see from your car during a quick
drive-by), but there were a couple highlights. There are hunters around,
so staying in or close to the car is the only good option for Killdeer
Plains right now.

 

Waterfowl:

2 Mallards at the reservoir

7 Tundra Swans at the pond on TR123

No other waterfowl observed

 

Raptors:

3 Red-tailed Hawks

4 American Kestrels

1 Northern Harrier

 

Others:

Red-headed Woodpecker at Pond 33

Lots of Blue Jays

Northern Flicker

 

Killdeer Plains is in Wyandot county, just northeast of the village of
Marseilles on route 67.

 

Good Birding,
