Hi Birders: I was out all day birding with Aaron Miller of Kidron. We saw 54 species for the day. We started at the OARDC arboretum and saw a small flock of white-winged crossbills in the pine grove. There were 6-8 of them and they were there less than one minute, but we saw them well. Red-breasted nuthatches were there tool. Killbuck Marsh, near Shreve, had all three species of swans and lots of ducks. At Wilderness Rd. in Funk Bottoms refuge, we saw one rusty blackbird, three sandhill cranes, and a large group of ducks that included over 75 green-winged teal. We drove up to Wellington Upground Reservoir, south of Oberlin. The three snow geese (two white and one blue-phase) and one Ross' goose that had been reported last week were still there. They put on a good show flying over the lake round and round several times. We could see the Ross' well as being smaller with a shorter neck. There was also a single common loon, single female/immature black scoter, and 5-6 horned grebes among the massive numbers of coots, ruddy ducks and Canada geese. Did not find a cackling Canada. There were also several other duck species, but nothing else of note.
