This afternoon I drove a route with a friend, starting north of Wooster and
heading south along the ponds along Overton Rd. Then over to Funk wildlife
area and Wilderness Rd. Then to Shreve Lake and finally the big pond in
Killbuck Marsh along Cemetery Rd. We had 21 species of waterfowl and 42
species of birds for the afternoon.

Highlights were three common loons (two on Shreve Lake), two horned grebes,
8-10 hooded mergansers including four males displaying very aggressively
for one female, a very large flock (1000+) of pintails in a flooded field
at Wilderness Rd, and the first phoebe I have seen this year at Killbuck.
The most diversity was at Funk, including ponds along Funk Rd north of
Funk, the observation tower at Funk, and along Wilderness Rd. We saw 13
species of waterfowl in the Funk area, including about 100 tundra swans. We
also saw 20-30 tree swallows, which are my first swallows for the year.
