I spent a few hours at Lake Logan on Saturday morning (11/10), and saw all
of the species mentioned recently by Dan Weber (minus the 2 hawks), plus a
handful of Bufflehead and a lone Lesser Scaup that seemed to be associating
with the Ruddies.  Also had 2 Ring-billed Gulls, and scads (30+) of Killdeer
that were thoroughly enjoying the mudflat at the northern end of the lake. 
Enjoyed watching a Kingfisher and a female Hooded Merganser successfully
fishing in the shallows, and listening to the Bald Eagle pair talking to
each other (they were both perched in a tree along the NW shoreline).  

Songbirds were about what you would expect, with some very vocal juncos in
several spots, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (my first of the season), and some
happy-sounding Bluebirds here and there.  I could have sworn I heard the
chip-note of an Eastern Phoebe at the southern end of the lake (where the
bait store/concession stand is), but I never got a visual on the bird, so
I'm not 100% sure.

It certainly was a lovely weekend to be out there.  Hope you all were able
to get out there and enjoy it!

Good birding,
Heather Aubke, Athens Co.
