March 26th, 2013 I can’t believe such a large rural lake has so few birds. I saw a grand total of 2 Canada Geese and 0 Mallards but there were quite a few Mergansers and 1 male Common Loon. Here’s the list: 20 Common Mergansers (a group of 12 and a group of 6) !3 Hooded Mergansers 1 Common Loon 10+ Tree Swallows At the spillway: 2 Belted Kingfisher 2 Eastern Phoebe 3 Tree Swallows Steve Hughes ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
