There were 4 sandhill cranes in the corn stubble just east of Spring Valley Wildlife Area. They were near the intersection of Roxanna New Burlington and Wilson Rd. At Cowan Lake in Clinton County there was a nice assortment of waterfowl: Canada Goose 8 Mallard 15 Common Goldeneye 5 Hooded Merganser 8 Common Merganser 1 Red-breasted Merganser 8 Canvasback 55 Redhead 65 Lesser Scaup 20 Scaup sp 20 Ruddy Duck 6 Bufflehead 5 Ring-necked Duck 90 There were also a few Herring Gulls and over 500 Ring-billed gulls present. I saw very little on the water at Caesar Creek, just a few Canada Geese, Common Goldeneye and a single Horned Grebe.
