Hey all -
As Mark posted earlier today, waterfowl numbers in agricultural areas just south of Magee Marsh/Ottawa are avian spectacle to behold at the moment. While crusing several backroads - Darsch, Rt. 19, Benton-Carroll, and Lickert-Harder, this afternoon, there were literally dabblers and swans in the air at all times, and piled into every wet spot in marshes and cornfields that we passed. Emil Bacik and I began our day much earlier in Lorain Co...here are the overall highlights:
Tundra Swan 650 Ottawa Co.
American Wigeon 500 Ottawa Co.
American Black Duck 100 flooded field - SR 2 east of US-250
Northern Pintail 700 Ottawa Co.
Green-winged Teal 50 Ottawa Co.
Common Merganser 75 Sandusky Bay bridge
Northern Harrier 2
Sandhill Crane 2 Benton-Carroll Rd.
Lesser Black-backed Gull 3 ad. - all in ag fields in Lorain Co, accompanying large Ring-billed/Herring flocks
Glaucous Gull 1 ad spotted on the ice while crossing the Sandusky Bay bridge; we pulled over for nice looks (not reccomended!)
Good birding -
