Got your attention, eh? But this is just a reminder that this species is showing up all over the region, with recent sightings beyond its far-south range to Tennessee, Arkansas, Virginia, Oklahoma, but also to Michigan, New York, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ontario. Some of these birds HAD to pass through Ohio, and others could have remained to sample the local hospitality, or will pass through on their way back south with cooler temperatures. There is only one Ohio record of BBW Duck, seen by two non-birders near Cincinnati who didn't know what it was, and happened to photograph it. They can show up anywhere in wetlands (even in little ponds in subdivisions, or perched in trees nearby) so keep an eye out for them, and if you see any, try to get photographs or good long looks you can use to write complete descriptions. Not a tough ID. Good luck, Bill Whan Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
