The common merganser that I first found at Woods Road wetlands on May 22 is still there. I believe it is a female common merganser, although I couldn't see a white throat. It was across the front pond and even with a spotting scope was far enough that I had some problem seeing it well. At Woods Road there were also Wood duck with 3 ducklings 1 spotted sandpiper 1 dickcissel I also did atlasing in the NW part of Darke County today and even with the heat and wind had wood thrushes kingbirds warbling vireos yellow warblers and common yellowthroats B. orioles Acadian flycatcher pewee great crested flycatcher house wren and other common birds. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
