Updated through October, our Franklin County year list can be seen at
http://www.columbusaudubon.org/production/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=675&Itemid=216
Birds seen already are in *bold* font.
The new birds we have reasonable chances at are:
Eurasian wigeon
white-winged and black scoters
red-throated loon
red-necked grebe
eared grebe
American white pelican
golden eagle
American avocet
red phalarope
laughing gull
Franklin's gull
Iceland gull
lesser black-backed gull
glaucous gull
great black-backed gull
common tern
snowy owl
rufous hummingbird
black-capped chickadee
Le Conte's sparrow
white-winged crossbill
Chances for some (the shorebirds, the sparrow) are diminishing. All the
others have been seen, some regularly, in the months to come. Surprises
are of course welcome. If you see one of these, post on ohio-birds or
let me know.
Lots of these birds are devoted to water, and those who bird at ponds,
marshes, quarries, and especially Hoover Reservoir south of the Smothers
Rd bridge will have the most luck. I have the feeling we'll end up with
a list any other county in the state will really have to scramble to equal.
Good birding to all
Bill Whan
