John Habig and I visited a few of the reservoirs in the western part of the state. We first went to Bresler reservoir west of Lima-Allen County where the 2 Eared Grebes and 1 Surf Scoter were still present. The number of Ruddy Ducks was up to 1300: Mallard 5 Blue-winged Teal 5 Northern Shoveler 5 Redhead 7 Ring-necked Duck 5 Greater Scaup 1 Lesser Scaup 6 Surf Scoter 1 Ruddy Duck 1300 Pied-billed Grebe 8 Eared Grebe 2 American Coot 150 Double-crested Cormorant 1 At Ferguson-Metzger reservoirs in Lima we again saw a Surf Scoter (another female). Northern Shoveler 1 Greater/Lesser Scaup 2 Surf Scoter 1 Ruddy Duck 360 Pied-billed Grebe 2 American Coot 23 Dunlin 8 We then went to the Findlay reservoir where we saw the previously reported adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, a Common Loon, yet another female Surf Scoter, and a Red-breasted Merganser. Our final stop was Indian Lake-Logan County where at least 2 of the Franklin's Gulls were still present at the Old Field Beach area.
