This morning on a walk with my wife and 2 kids at the Darby Bend Lakes of Prairie Oaks Metro Park, I had the pleasure of observing a good assortment of birds: Highlights: 3 flyover Bonaparte's Gulls ~50 Lapland Longspurs 1 Common Loon Also: 10 Ruddy Ducks 6 Lesser Scaup ~30 Coots 5 Horned Grebes 1 Red-tailed Hawk on its nest 1 soaring Cooper's Hawk 3 Common Flickers 2 Red-bellied Woodpeckers ~20 Tree Swallows pair of Belted Kingfishers ~10 Horned Larks plus other common birds I also saw what I'm assuming is a partial albino Canada Goose (normal size and coloration except head and neck were mostly white and speckled with black). Very strange! -Nate Nye Hilliard, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
