The duck diversity in Darke County has been good the past 2 weeks. We haven't seen huge numbers, but some of our wet areas have had 3 to 7 kinds of waterfowl. The shorebirds have started this week with Gr. and Lesser Yellowlegs, Snipe, and Pectoral Sandpipers. Last week, I found Ring-billed and Bonepart Gulls.
