Species in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE REVIEW LIST SPECIES. Details of these
sightings are desired by the Ohio Bird Records Committee. Careful
observation, not ornithological expertise, is the only qualification for
submitting your data. For details and pointers see:

Rossıs Goose: Craig Holt reported one at the spillway of Evans Lake on 7 Mar
in Mahoning County. Another has been hanging around Pickerington Ponds and
was seen on 10 Mar (Rob Thorn).
White-winged Scoter: One female was reported at Delaware Reservoir among
scaup on 13 Mar (Ken Davis).
Red-throated Loon: One basic-plumaged bird was seen on 10 Mar at Pine Lake
(Craig Holt).
American White Pelican: Two were reported from Cowan Lake on 14 Mar (Larry
Gara).
ROYAL TERN: This bird, originally misidentified as a Caspian Tern, showed up
at Hoover Reservoir on 3 Mar, and later photographed by the Walnut Boat
Ramp. Luckily, when Vic Fazio reviewed the pictures on 6 Mar he keenly
identified the bird as a Royal Tern. Word quickly spread in all directions,
and many birders were able to chase and further photograph this bird. The
bird was last seen late 7 Mar. Here are some great shots by Bill Tacon:

off. Reported areas are College Rd. x Koppert Rd., and in the nearby area
along Reed Rd.

feeder at 9041 Bear Hollow Rd in Applecreek. Birders welcome.

Pogacnikıs house at 4765 Lockwood Road Perry, OH 44081 through 13 Mar.
