Larry Gara, John Habig, and I visited Grand Lake St. Marys, Van Wert, Bressler, and Metzger-Ferguson reservoirs Saturday, Nov 1. As Andy S. mentioned, Grand Lake did not have many waterfowl (but had lots of gulls). Highlights there were 1 male Canvasback and 2 Horned Grebes, a few Rusty Blackbirds near Windy Point. At the Van Wert reservoirs we just saw Ruddys and a few Lesser Scaup, Canada Geese. Bressler had the best diversity: Canada Geese 1 American Wigeon 2 American Black Duck 10 Mallard 1 Northern Shoveler 2 Redhead 5 Ring-necked 5 Lesser Scaup 2 Bufflehead 1 Common Merganser 2 Hooded Merganser 350 Ruddy Duck 5 Pied-billed Grebe 4 Horned Grebe Also a few flyover American Pipits. At Metzger-Ferguson, among the hundreds of Ruddys were1 female Canvasback, 3 Bufflehead, 4 Ring-necked, a few Mallard. The highlight there were the 26 Snow Buntings allowing very nice views as they fed along the causeway.
