My highlights from Pickerington Ponds this morning include 1 adult Bald Eagle 1 Peregrine Falcon 2 Sandhill Cranes 1 Fox Sparrow I also saw the following ducks: Gadwall American Wigeon Mallard Shoveler Green-Winged Teal Ring-Necked Duck Ruddy Duck The Peregrine Falcon scared up a flock of 9 shorebirds when he left his perch. Quite white when flying, flashing in the sun. They landed in the water and swam around for a while before taking off again and then landing on the shore. Any other shorebirds swim besides phalaropes? ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
