Hello All, Wet and nasty but as Mickey Dunakin said "Great for everything waterfowly". We headed to Lima to check the reservoirs (from the car - what with the RAIN) Ferguson Res held NO waterfowl! Metzger gave up Common and Hooded Mergansers and G-L Scaup. Bressler kept the ducks to itself - they were too far west for any possible ID - but there were MANY! But up close we found Golden Eyes! Returning via OH66, at a pond near 182, we were rewarded with many Ringnecks. 40Acre Pond showed us 3 Pb Greves. The "hawk" nest along Glynwood Rd is MT! Later, we headed for Grand Lake St Marys and found Ringnecks (20) and Redheads (6) on a pond on the sw corner of Koenig Rd/OH 29. GLSM was the BEST! These sightings were along the east shore. There were: Mallards; CAGO, Coot, so many gulls flying over the lake, Hooded Mergs, Pb Greges, Goldeneyes at least 100; G-L Scaup 200+; Redheads 200+; Canvas backs 100 (we haven't seen this many Cans for a few years!) Common Mergs. Keep watching - Sping IS in the air. Jill ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
