Hi all, I found 5 Black Scoters at the south end of Alum Creek Reservoir at about 8am this morning. Also present were over 200 American Coots, 25 Ruddy Ducks, 14 Horned Grebes, and a single Common Loon- along with the expected gulls and landbirds. Keep in mind that waterfowl season has started- these birds were all out in the middle of the lake, so a scope is necessary. Also, one Nelson's Sparrow was still present just south of Leonardsburg Rd at Delaware Wildlife Area- I have found at least one every time I've been there since the beginning of October. Good Birding, Steve Landes ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
