Hi all, This morning there was 1 Eurasian Widgeon on the second (larger) pond along the Weapons to Wetlands trail at Fernald Preserve. The gray body, reddish-brown head, and buffy crown stripe on the face were all clearly observed for about 20 minutes. The bird was also seen by Gary Stegner and Jane from Fernald. For those unfamiliar with the area, it is located a little north west of Cincinnati along Wiley Rd, and is the same preserve where the Gargany was found in late April last year. The Weapons to Wetlands Trail is the gravel trail that starts right in front of the Visitor Center. On our way back to the visitor center, all of the ducks suddenly flushed, and they (including the Widgeon) landed on a back pond that is not accessible to the public. Also present today: 19 Greater White-fronted Geese (previously reported to cincinnatibirds.com yesterday), 1 Snow Goose (blue), Canada Geese, Black Duck, American Widgeon, Gadwall, Mallard, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, Ring-necked Duck, Northern Harrier, American Kestral, and 160 Sandhill Cranes which apparently roosted there last night. Also there has been a Rough-legged Hawk here for the last few weeks, but I didn't see it today. Good birding, Brian Wulker ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
