We traveled around most of LaDue Reservoir tonight after dinner (6:30 - 7:45pm). Buffleheads at the Auburn Road causeway (east side) and Ring-necked Ducks on the west side. Nesting Canada Goose on muskrat house at the Bartholemew Road ponds (north pond) near Rt 44. Looking east into the reservoir from Bartholemew / Rt 44 intersection the usual cormorants, geese, ring-bill and herring gulls and a small raft of Rudy Ducks North of the Rt 422 Causeway (along Valley Road) lots of gulls, R-B Mergansers, hundreds of Rudy Ducks (especially way north in the lake) Got a couple shots of the Rudy Ducks - they were way out there and the camera was a bit shakey! http://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/BirdsAroundLaDueReservoirAuburnOH Hello to the birders from Hiram College we saw along the way! It's great to see young people so interested in birds!
