I checked the Clear Fork Reservoir just west of Lexington (City of Mansfield) this morning (25 November 2009), viewed from Rt. 97 along the south edge of the reservoir. The duck and goose decoys outnumbered the actual waterfowl by a very large margin, but a close RED-THROATED LOON was a nice surprise. Mute Swan - 1 Canada Goose - 2 Hooded Merganser - 15 RED-THROATED LOON - 1 Common Loon - 12 Pied-billed Grebe - 2 American Coot - 250 Ring-billed Gull - 20 Good birding, Jay McGowan Ithaca, NY ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
