Paula and I are currently on a road trip to San Diego. We left Tiffin on January 20. I guess we have missed some great weather. Yesterday, in Lake Havasu City, AZ it was a cool 74... But that isn't the purpose of this email. Ron Minard, of Seneca County, sent me an email and photo yesterday of a bird that was found by a farmer near McCutchenville on Wednesday. The farmer found the bird sitting in a snow covered field on the side of the road. It is currently in an animal rehab place in Upper Sandusky. The photograph shows a beautiful adult male White-winged Scoter in near breeding plumage. I don't have all my records with me but this maybe Seneca County's third record and first winter record. I believe the bird probably tried to land on an icy road thinking it was a body of open water. Hopefully it survives. Tom -- H.
