Yesterday my wife, daughter and I went to Marion County. Despite the horrible weather (bitter cold and windy) we had a great birding. At the newer Wetlands preserve On SR203 just north of 739 we saw: Lesser Scaups (score) Hooded Merganser 4-6 Northern Shoveler (10-15) Trumpeter Swans (2) American wigeon m&f Buffleheads male and female At a pond on T-84: Canvas backed N. Pintail In addition to hundreds of Canada Geeses Finally, at a small pond on LaRue Prospect Rd just south of Keener Pike: Red head m and f. Plus more L. Scaups. Strangely we saw no Mallards.
