I went back to LaDue this afternoon at 3:30 and didn't find long tailed ducks. Not as many ducks as yesterday, but still lots of red breasted mergansers. I counted near 300. A dozen horned grebes, 8 pied billed. 4 Hooded mergansers, a few buffleheads, scaup, ruddys and ring necked ducks. A quick walk around Frohring Meadows produced several meadowlarks, and five common snipe. The snipe were easy to see, as they seemed to fly from side as walkers came near. Two wood ducks and a dozen or so mallards. Inga Schmidt ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
