Brian and I are stalking birds today.  What is the most recent sightings of
the Sandhill Cranes south of Circleville and the While-winged Scoter in
Dayton?  If anyone has and central ohio-ish sightings for Rusty Blackbirds
or a Peregrine Falcon we would appreciate that as well.



We ventured down to Deer Creek yesterday and found our Black Vulture
finally, along with a lot of crows.  There were also thousands of ducks,
geese and gulls on the water including: Canada Geese, American Wigeon,
Green-winged Teal, Mallards, Ring-necked, (one lonely) Bufflehead, Northern
Pintails, Red-headed, Hooded Merganzer, Ring-billed Gulls, and Mute and
Trumpeter Swans.  I'm sure there were others that were overlooked.  Others
had reported lesser scaups in the area too.



We aren't good at gulls one bit so I am sure we missed something there but
I'm sure the majority were Ring-billed!



Happy Birding!

Larry & Brian
