On Sunday March 21 from 8-12pm, Sean Williams, OWU student will lead a
waterfowl/birding identification session at the Delaware Wildlife Area.
Please stop by anytime during his 4 hour window on Sunday to get a few ID
tips from Sean.  He has been keeping a list from OWU and his school list is
becoming quite impressive too!

On behalf of Columbus Audubon, we thank you Sean for offering to provide an
'extra' program during Waterfowl Madness this March.  Sean had offered to do
a program during the OOS/CA Waterfowl Symposium Sun. Feb. 28 field trip and
with the frozen tundra he was unable to do so.  He kindly offered to do this
make up session.  You can also visit www.columbusaudubon.org to learn more.

See you there this Sunday!

Trip: Birds and Waterfowl of Delaware Wildlife Area

Description: Migrating waterfowl and other waterbirds congregate at
Delaware Wildlife Area by the thousands. The expansive Leonardsburg Marsh
provides superb views of any dabbling duck, but also holds many diving
ducks. Delaware Reservoir also attracts diving ducks, as well as
deeper-water birds: namely loons, grebes, and (rarely) scoters. Join Ohio
Wesleyan U. student and expert birder Sean Williams to see spring migration
and northbound waterfowl visiting Delaware Wildlife Area as they head to
their breeding grounds.

Directions: Go north on Rt 23 and turn right or east on Main Rd. This turn
is a few miles north of the town of Delaware and just south of the dam. When
you arrive to the T, turn left on Panhandle. The first right is
Leondardsburg Rd, but Sean will be stationed at the parking lot south of the
intersection of Panhandle Rd. and Leonardsburg Rd. This is just past the
Eagle observation area and over the dyke.
