January 26: Drove from Fremont with wife to corn stubble field where Tundra swans frequent, just 6 miles NW of Fremont. Counted 650 swans from left to right and quit counting half way through. Judged the entire flock to be 1,300 birds. My wife took photos with her digital camera. Maybe I can figure out how to post the photos on this board (I'm computer- challenged). Then, drove East of Fremont on Rt. 6 to Pickerel Creek WA. Two adult Bald eagles flew over, probably from the White's Landing nest. Drove to Castalia Pond in Castalia and counted: 14 Gadwalls 30+ Northern Shovelers 18+ Black ducks 4 Buffleheads 68 Canada Geese 45+ American Widgeon 12 Redhead ducks 65 Mallards ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
