Greetings---there was a good variety of waterfowl in Mahoning Co. today 3/5.  Numbers were pretty low, though.  At the south end of Pine L. were 7 really tiny-looking CACKLING GEESE with Canadas of various sizes.  Lots of smaller ones which are probably real migrants!   Other sightings around Pine L. and Evans L. just to the north were:  wood ducks, Am. black ducks, mallards, n. shovelers, redheads, ring-necked ducks, buffleheads, hooded mergansers, great blue heron, Am. coots, n. flicker, e. bluebirds, Am. robins, red-winged blackbirds.  There are still plenty of wild turkeys around Mahoning Co.  There are only a few killdeers.  I still haven't seen vultures, woodcocks yet.  Only a few grackles too.  Tons of crows and plenty of blue jays....I don't see any signs of West Nile Virus here.   Later, Craig
