On Saturday Morning Jan 30th we braved the frigid air on the bike path 
below 5th ave between  Riverside Drive and the Scioto River. 

There were numerous ducks and geese sunning themselves along the shore and 
swimming back and forth. This was my best day for ducks at this location 
with beautiful  views of a pair of Pintails and a Pair of Goldneyes 
swiming in the middle of the river.  

Geese    - 200
DUCKS: 
Mallards - 120
Ring Neck - 80
Hooded Mergansers 15

Also, an afternoon walk along the bike path next to the Audobon Center at 
Whittier was not very productive. Saw gulls and couple herons but nothing 
else.
