Greetings all, This afternoon, upon exiting work, I was treated to a flyover of two closely associated flocks of Sandhill Cranes totaling 43 birds. These birds were seen over the village of Paulding heading north. Additionslly - some ducks have finally began to show up here - including Redhaed, Bufflehead, and American Wigeon. Other harbingers of spring that have recently made their presence known here: Killdeer, Red-winged Blackbird, and Common Grackle. Happy birding! - Scott Myers, Paulding Ohio ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
