This afternoon Jackie Brown and I found the American White Pelican lounging along shoreline with twenty-three Great Blue Herons not far north of Deer Creek Lake Dam, and visible from the north extension of the Crownover Mill Road Access area near the shrike location. We found the Northern Shrike about fifty meters northwest of the gate to the beach area along the west side of the roadway leading north from the gate. The shrike twice used high visible perches briefly then disappeared into brush below for long periods. Thanks to those who found and shared the locations of these uncommon birds. Additional species include: Bonapart's Gull Ring-billed Gull Hooded Merganser Bufflehead Common Goldeneye Redhead Northern Pintail Gadwall American Wigeon Mallard American Black Duck Canada Geese. Deer Creek State Park is located in SW Pickaway County, south-central Ohio. Delorme 67C7. A park map is helpful and can be found at the ODNR website.
