A quick tour of the lake and refuge area before the rain. 1 juvenile Bald Eagle 3 Green-winged Teal males 2 Blue-winged Teal male and female 2 Ring-necked Ducks male and female 3 Osprey 2 Northern Harrier male and female 25 Red-breasted Mergansers 6 Bonaparte's Gull In the bonus insect department I felt something crawling on me when I got home and sure enough I had brought home my first TICK of the season. Thank God you can feel these things before they bite. Makes me itch just thinking of them. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
