Had all of 20 minutes to bird today between here and there, and stopped at Herrick Fen. There were at minimum 6 blue winged teal. Also should add forgot to list blue winged teal in yesterday's tally over at Tinker's Creek State Nature Preserve. There were at least 60 that I could see. Evidently was overcome by the red-breasted nuthatches in conjunction with the snake; either that or perhaps a bit worried the turkey vulture was rooting for the snake. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
