I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather & do a little birding. Hoover dam was a bust - possibly due to the boaters. I did find some Red Breasted Mergansers at the Redbank Marina. Alum Creek was also busy with boaters. At the newer boat ramp, I got a stunning view of a Common Loon. It did not appear to be concerned about my presence & put on quite a show. There were also some Red Breasted Mergansers @ the Cheshire Rd. Boat Launch. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
