Hey there, There are 3 Greater White-fronted Geese out at the same ol' pond across the street from my house right now. I posted some (low-quality, but OK) pictures of them at http://www.dropshots.com/nyefamily#date/2007-12-29/13:31:26. Sorry, photography is not something I spend a lot of time or money on, I just like to document uncommon sightings. So, I don't know why this pond is such a goose-magnet!! I'm lovin it though. That makes four species of geese for this pond within 1 week. I haven't seen the Cackling Goose or Snow Goose since Christmas Day, when he was out on the pond with the Snow Goose and Canadas, despite constant vigilance and a couple trips to the cornfields just west of here. There are still large numbers of geese in the general area of SW Hilliard, but their movement patterns seem to shift every couple of days. For example, the pond at Nike & Spindler has been pretty empty for days (used to be a favorite daytime gaggle spot), except in the evenings when several flocks show up to roost. I'm interested to see what the rest of the winter will bring to the pond! I was curious about what waterfowl the Darby Lakes (at Prairie Oaks MP) might hold, so I jetted out there just a couple hours ago and only found about 50 Canada Geese, 7 Ruddy Ducks, 4 Ring-neckeds, ~25 coots, and ~10 mallards. Plus a kestrel, a red-tail, and some tree sparrows. That's all for now! Have a great weekend! -Nate Nye Hilliard ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
