I saw a pair of Ring-necked Ducks (male and female) along with a handful of Canada Geese in the pond at the New Russia Township Nature Preserve (corner of Rt. 58 and Butternut Ridge Road) shortly before 10 am this morning. First of the year for me. :-) Happy Birding! Kristen ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
