Great day today in West Central Ohio!!! At our feeder, we had about 30 AGF, N Cardinal, Downy WP, HF. This is great because our yard has been void of birds lately!! In Mercer County, we saw N Shovelers, GW Teal, Gadwall, Kestrel, Pintail, GBH, Wood ducks, and of course the ever present CAGO!! And there was a C Loon on GLSM!! This afternoon, we headed to Allen County first stop Bressler where the Ruddy Ducks RULED! At least 1000 along with 100+ Ivory billed Black Ducks (A Coot to you-all) 2-3 Horned Grebe, C Merganser, Buffleheads, and a couple of Scaup. Metzger held more Ruddy Ducks, Scaup, Coot, 3 C Loons, and Buffleheads. Interestingly, Ferguson, Lost Creek and Lima Lake were empty!! It was a good day!!
