HEY! THIS is the time to visit GLSM!! The number of ducks is phenomenal!! G-L Scaup N Shovelers Redheads Canvas backs Ring necks Mallards Ruddys Coot I'm certain I omitted many!! OH, and the GULLS!!! Literally THOUSANDS!! Mostly ringbilled - but what a sight! They follow the ducks trying to steal an easy meal! Some ducks were observed diving for moss!! Also, today, we visited Bressler Reservoir in Allen County and found large numbers of ducks too far out for good ID but know there are perhaps the same as on GLSM! And there were Horned Grebes and Piedbilled. Anyway, it would be great just to observe the numbers of ducks. My husband is amazed and awed by the numbers. Also, there were greater than usual numbers of Canadas on the lake this winter!! Mother Nature always seems to rebound. And what a rebound she has given us this spring.
