I'm new to the lsit but not to birding. This afternoon as we came home from a family outing I noticed that there was an odd looking bird amongst the many canadian geese in our subdivision's pond. I went back with camera in hand at took some photos of the bird so that I could try to identify it. it turned out to be an Egyptian Goose! (How the heck did he end up in our subdivision's pond?) I have no idea if this is of any significance or not. I have over 200 pics of the bird if anyone is curious. I tried to call the ohio rare bird alert number but it has been disconected. (?) Is there anyone else I should notify? Thanks in adavance for any help. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
