Flying gulls told me there was open water here somewhere, and there was - a tiny bit. It had some nice stuff, too. If it stays open, it is best visible from the first picnic area south of the beach parking lot (Delorme 67: D-7). Here's the abbreviated list: LONG-TAILED DUCK - 1 Common Goldeneye - 10 Red-breasted Merganser - X Hooded Merganser - X Redhead - XX Pied-billed Grebe - 2 Mallard - XX Gadwall - X American Black Duck - X Northern Pintail - X Green-winged Teal - X Canada Goose - XX GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL - 1 (it left soon after I saw it) Herring Gull - X Ring-billed Gull - XXX (lots of brief fly-bys) There might have been more, had I not had a date with a warm car interior.. Keep warm out there! Eric Reiner Ashville, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
