Hi: We just returned from a month in Florida and I followed all the Ohio sightings of red-necked grebes on this website. This afternoon, I went to several areas in Wayne Co. to see waterfowl. The large pond next to Cemetery Road, off hwy 226 NE of Shreve, was packed with waterfowl. As I scanned through thousands of ducks with my scope, I found a beautiful red-necked grebe in full breeding plumage near the center of the pond.That helped a lot for all I had missed here in March. In addition to that, there were also horned and pied-billed grebes and the following ducks: black, mallard, gadwall, green-winged teal, shoveler, redhead, ring-neck, ruddy, canvasback, lesser scaup, and bufflehead. Of course, numbers varied, with ring-necks being most numerous and some species with only a few individuals. I also stopped at Shreve Lake and found two loons, a male and three female red-breasted mergansers, pied-billed and horned grebes, lots of cormorants, and ruddy ducks, lesser scaup and buffleheads. Earlier in the afternoon, I was at Funk and Wilderness Rd and saw some of the same ducks, though numbers were higher near Shreve. I did see some pintails far to the NE from the Funk Bottoms observation tower and some blue-winged teal along Rt 95 there.
