The OSU Ornithology Club took a trip to these reservoirs in Franklin/Delaware County yesterday, and saw 45 species on the day. Highlights included: Hoover Dam: Osprey Bufflehead Lesser Scaup American Coot (5) Pied-billed Grebe Area I of Hoover/Oxbow: Bonaparte's Gull (100) Hooded Merganser (100-200) Ruddy Duck (3) Black Duck (15) Green-winged Teal (5) Mudhen Marsh: Fox Sparrow (3) American Tree Sparrow (2) Alum Dam/New Galena: A combination of poor afternoon light, distance, and waves made it difficult to pinpoint the birds forming large rafts in the lake, but we were able to pick out Scaup, Ruddy Duck, and American Coot.
