Greetings all, A weeks worth of dilligence finally paid off this morning with an Osprey at the Paulding Reservoir this AM (DeLorme, Page 34, between C3 and D3). The reservoir has been utterly quiet elseiwse this week (month) with only a lone Double-crested Cormorant a week ago, and a Broad-winged Hawk on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The Black Swamp Nature Center (located next door to the Reservoir) may prove good for some shorebirds as the water level is well down, and some small mudflats have emerged. Yesterday produced only Killdeer, but the hope is other shorebirds will be drawn in. The ponds at BSNC have been good for Great Blue and Green Heron, Mallard, Wood Duck, and Killdeer this week. Today might not be the best day to check the pond as there is some kind of EMT workshop going on at the Nature Center building right next to the muddy pond. Happy birding to all - its great to be back in Ohio! - Scott Myers, Paulding ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile.yahoo.com/go?refer=1GNXIC ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
