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 Golden Eye - 2 Black Ducks - 3 Pintail - 2 Ring Billed Gulls 20 Blue Herons 3 Kingfishers 2 Redtailed Hawk (Seen in a tree along Fisher Road Near Rome Hilliard) Cardinals 3 White Throated Sparrow 4 Tree Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 1 Robins 6 Blue Jays 2 Redbellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 2 Chickadees 4 House Sparrows 6 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. Craig Moore ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
