Hello birders, The Columbus Audubon waterfowl trip did pretty well this morning. Rob Thorn, the one and only Dick Tuttle, Darrell Yoder, Christie, and a few other birders joined me in search of waterfowl at Delaware Wildlife Area. We tallied 19 species of waterfowl. There were 1000+ individuals on Delaware Lake and Leonardsburg Marsh. Additionally, NBC local news, which I think is channel 4 for the Columbus area, did a story on us while we were picking through ducks on Leonardsburg Marsh, so be sure to check us out!
