I part of this evening birding from the Grigg's reservoir dam south along the river through Hoover Park. I thought I'd mention a few noteworthy birds: 3 "Richardson's" Cackling Geese (B. h. hutchinsii) -- together with CAGOs, visible from the parking area south of Hoover Park. 1m Gadwall -- below the dam 1m Bufflehead -- north end of Hoover park 1m C. Merganser -- south end of Hoover park 3 Pie-billed Grebes -- south of Hoover park 3 C. Goldeneye (1m 2f) -- south end of Hoover park 1-2 Belted Kingfisher -- north end of Hoover park There were also 6 or more domestic-type mallards present (2 washed out female types, 3-4 dark with a white bib, 1-2 all white). There were flocks of Canadas coming in to roost the entire time I was there, so this might be a place worth checking for anyone looking for uncommon geese in Columbus. Good birding, Paul Hurtado ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
