I had a chance to stop at Darby Bend Lakes in Hilliard (off Amity Road) last night after work. There are 4 bodies of water out there, and all are partially frozen. In the first pond going into the park I spotted what must have been 200+ Canada Geese. But in the midst of them was a Snow Goose. Just one, but a beautiful specimen. Then in the second area there were lots of waterfowl. My counts are rough, but here is what I saw: Canada Geese - 100+ (in the second pond) American Coots - 20 Ruddy Duck - 5 Canvasback - 2 males and 2 females Redheads - 15-20 (and more kept flying in and out) Pied-bill Grebe - 2 Ring-necked ducks - 4 Mallards - 50+ Tundra Swan - 6 (very exciting to see) There was also 2 ducks that were all white below and on the neck, with black feathers and a black strip on the head. They were a good distance away and since I don't have a scope I couldn't identify them. Hope to see them up closer next time. If someone with more identifying skills happens to see them, let me know. I thought at first it was a Common Loon, but just not able to be sure. The other two areas were devoid of any waterfowl.
