Ben Eckstein and myself went to Kiser Lake this morning (4/10/12) with a stop at Runkle's Pond (just off 235) along the way. The sightings were as follows: Runkle's Pond Canada Geese Mallard Red-winged Blackbird Eastern Meadowlark Kiser Lake Spillway (West side of lake) Common Grackle American Robin Great Blue Heron Pied-billed Grebes Song Sparrow Mallard Canada Geese Helmeted Guinea Fowl x2 We heard a strange call in the woods across from the spillway and investigated to find the Guineas, we assume from the nearby farm. Kiser Lake East side (across from camp area) Pine Warbler Turkey Vulture Canada Geese Blue-winged Teal (about 4 pairs) Eastern Bluebird Mallards Tree Swallows Kiser Lake Boardwalk Trail/Wetland Eastern Phoebe Downy Woodpeckers Northern Cardinals Swamp Sparrow Gray Catbird Brown-headed Cowbirds American Crows Blue Jay Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Wood Ducks Eastern Towhee Wild Turkey Mourning Doves Red-bellied Woodpecker Sadly we did not see any Black-necked Stilts but it was very windy so even if they were there I doubt we would have seen them anyway. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
