The duck diversity in Darke County has been good the past 2 weeks.  We
haven't seen huge numbers, but some of our wet areas have had 3 to 7 kinds
of waterfowl.  The shorebirds have started this week with Gr. and Lesser
Yellowlegs, Snipe, and Pectoral Sandpipers.  Last week, I found Ring-billed
and Bonepart Gulls.
