Hi all, I saw an adult Bald Eagle near Buckeye Park in Bluffton about 1/2 hour ago. It landed briefly but a Ring-billed Gull chased it off. The eagle was last seen headed west along Riley Creek. Aslo, the female Northern Shoveler is still hanging out with the weird hybrid mallards on the pond. Earlier this morning, I drove to Bressler Reservoir in hopes of seeing the Red-throated Loon. There were substantial numbers of birds on the water but they were out toward the middle. Unfortunately, all the waterfowl were just at the edge of the range of my binos and I couldn't clearly ID anything. Happy birding, Chris Caprette Allen Co. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
