Just thought I would let people know who might be heading out today. There are 4 Northern Shovelers directly behind the Hoover Office (not normal for them), a pied-billed grebe out from them, a raft of Hooded Mergansers (and possibly others by open water out from the marina and lots of gulls. Happy Birding! Elayna ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
