Hello Birders This morning Bob Royse, Doug Snapp, Bruce Miller, and I searched the Scioto River near 5th Ave. for the Surf Scoter with no luck. We did find what were most likely two different Horned Grebes as we walked the area South of Griggs Dam. In spite of the warmer conditions there were still large numbers of waterfowl along the river. Mallard Ducks Canada Geese Northern Pintails Buffleheads Common Goldeneyes Hooded Mergansers Gadwalls American Black Ducks Canvasbacks Redheads Ring Necked Duck Cooper's Hawk Great Blue Herons (in very good numbers) Northern Cardinals Blue Jay White Throated Sparrow Carolina Chickadees Tufted Titmice Downey Woodpecker I'm sure I'm leaving a few off of the list guys so chime in if you wish. Not a bad morning at all, some good birds and even better company.
