Hi OHbirders, Duck migration is in full swing at the Delaware wildlife area with 17 species of waterfowl. It was a good morning for our ornithology lab, considering many species were new birds for the students. Highlights were a pair of Wood Ducks, a Bonaparte's Gull, a flyover Lapland Longspur, and a Bald Eagle which kicked up all the waterfowl. There were about 3000 individuals flying around when the eagle flew over, but the birds were backlit and went unidentified.
