Sorry for the late post. Yesterday morning I went birding at Hoover Reservoir and Alum Creek Lake. Bonaparte's Gull-one individual at the end of the boardwalk on Hoover mixed in with a flock of ring-billed gulls. Solitary Sandpiper-at the beginning of the boardwalk on Hoover Trumpeter Swan-one juvenile on Hoover Reservoir near the Plumb Rd. access. This is the first time I've ever seen a Trumpeter Swan on Hoover Reservoir Herring Gulls-three adults mixed in with a flock of Ring-Billed Gulls at the Alum Creek State Park beach American Golden Plover-two adults on the grass near the playground at the north end of the Alum Creek State Park beach Eastern Meadowlarks-6 individuals on the grass below Alum Creek Dam Al La Sala Columbus, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
