I'm doing a redo of my previous post on Russell's Point birds. So I looked at Russell's points lake view and had: Osprey: 3 My grandma named a Osprey that likes to perch in some trees on a island across the road, named it Oscar, and we hope he/she finds a mate this year and builds a nest there too. Red BreastedMerganser: 1 Female flew in while I watched the osprey all day. Ruddy Duck: 18 a small flock swam around the Ospreys island. Pied Billed Grebe: 2 swam with Ruddies. Tree Swallows: 30+ many flew around the lake, many also flew around the trees by Oscar :) Then I visited a marsh/swamp area off highway 33 on 94. Highlights included: GreatBlueHeron: 3 Gadwall: 5 Green Teal: 6 Shovlers: 20+ Am. Wigeon: 5 Mallard: 5 Tree Swallow: 5 My grandma also reports that she's been seeing some Wood Ducks across the donut shop in Russell's Point, just sitting on the docks. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
