Hello Everyone, Today at around 2:30pm 3 of the White-winged Crossbills were present @ Clear Creek Metropark in Hocking County. Heather Raymond, who kindly pointed the birds out to me, reported that someone told her around 40 birds were present earlier in the day. The birds were feeding in some spruce trees on the right hand side of the road, just before the large rock that leans over the road. On the way back to Reynoldsburg, I stopped by Pickerington Ponds Metropark. On Ellis pond there were 2 Cackling Geese among the throng of Canadas. There are an incredible number of ducks there right now, but they were all Mallards and Black Ducks. Good January Birding, Brad Sparks Reynoldsburg ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
