Hello all, I had the pleasure of birding with Jack Stenger today, and we hit Hoover Reservoir, Alum Creek, and Delaware Reservoir. Here are a couple birds of note- Red-throated Loon- 1, continuing at Hoover Reservoir, originally seen flying north, later relocated on the northern half of the reservoir Common Loon- 115+ (!) at the southern end of Alum Creek. Jack and I carefully counted a few large groups, 40 of which headed south before we left. This was a really impressive sight, especially inland. We are confident there were no other loon species mixed in. Otherwise there were moderate numbers of Lesser Scaup, Redhead, Hooded Mergansers, and other common waterfowl. Good birding, Sean --- Sean Williams, 2nd year graduate student Department of Zoology Michigan State University 203 Natural Sciences Building East Lansing, MI 48824 617-470-4094 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
