Island Road quarry has become a good local "watering hole" with most area
still-water areas now frozen.  This morning's aggregation included:

Canada Goose - 1000+/-

SNOW GOOSE - 1 immature white phase

GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE - 5

TRUMPETER SWAN - 13

Am. Black Duck - 10-20

Mallard - 300-500

N. Pintail - 1-2

Green-winged Teal - 2

Redhead - 1

Common Goldeneye - 1

Am. Coot - 12-15



Although BALD EAGLES are regular visitors (right next to the Scioto - I've
seen as many as 3 at one time here), none were present today.  However,
between the quarry and grasslands further north on Island Rd., the following
raptors were seen:

N. Harrier - 2

Red-tailed Hawk - 2

Am. Kestrel -1



Happy Birding!
