There was a nice raft of around 400 ducks at Caesar Creek viewed from Harveysburg Rd – 6:00pm. Most abundant were Lesser Scaup but there were also lots of Gadwall. Gadwall (~100) American Wigeon Black Duck Mallard Ring-necked Duck Lesser Scaup (~150) Surf Scoter (female) Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Ruddy Duck Pied-billed Grebe Horned Grebe (29) Common Loon (11) As I was watching the ducks a smallish (I originally thought it was a swallow) shorebird came into view, flying around like it was going to land in the water very near the ducks. I never saw it touch down, and I eventually lost it.
