I relocated the previously reported red-necked phalarope at about 5 PM in the Battelle-Darby Metropark wetlands west of Darby Creek Dr. opposite the farmhouse with 448 on the mailbox. In the pool south of this one and immediately north of the bike path, I observed a female hooded merganser with two young trailing behind her. Battelle-Darby Metropark is in western Franklin County. http://www.metroparks.net/MapBattelle.aspx Paul Gardner Columbus, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
