A little bit of water finally opened up at Sippo Lake near the dam and it produced a nice mix of waterfowl this morning. Present were lesser scaup, ring-necked ducks, gadwall, northern shovelers, hooded mergansers, redhead, tundra swan, mallard, Canada geese, American coot, and a pied-billed grebe. There was also a flyby of a killdeer. Two turkey vulture circled the area riding the strong SW winds. I also saw one red-tailed hawk and a Cooper's hawk performing acrobatics in the wind that truly demonstrated the incredible flying skills these raptors possess. That's the news from Sippo Lake. Happy birding! Jon Cefus Sent from my iPhone ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
