Hi all, Went birding at Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area today. Ducks, Grebes, and Coots probably numbered nearly a thousand individuals. I wasn’t going to even try to count. Here are some really rough estimates: American Coot – Couple Hundred Hooded Merganser - ~150-200 Gadwall - ~100+ Mallard - ~100+ American Wigeon - ~70+ Bufflehead - ~40+ Ring-necked Duck - ~20 Pied-billed Grebe - ~15+ Ruddy Duck – ~10 Northern Pintail – X Tundra Swan – 37 (fly-over) Bald Eagle – 2 Ad. 1 Juv. Northern Harrier – 1 Also along the causeway: Bonaparte’s Gull – XXX Common Loon - 3+ Snow Bunting – 3 (on causeway) Mallard - ~30 Ethan Kistler Newton Falls, Ohio www.freewebs.com/trumbullbirding --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?
