I stopped by the lower part of Hoover Resevoir (Walnut St. ramp and the dam) as well as a few nearby wooded parks (Boyer Preserve, Inniswood) this afternoon. Late migrants were scarce and spotty, with notables including : MuteSwans - not really a migrant, but 3 adults and 2 juveniles were off the Walnut St. ramp American Wigeon - none on the reservoir, but 6 were on the pond at Boyer Preserve CommonLoon - at least one was in the deep part of the reservoir off the dam Pied-billed Grebes - 2 were off Walnut St ramp and another 2 were off the dam Gulls - small flocks of Ring-bills and Bonapartes were at many spots in the lower reservoir Pileated Woodpecker - 1 was calling from the woodland loop trail at inniswood Golden-cr.Kinglets - still some around with 2 below Hoover Dam and another 2 at inniswood Sparrows - Songs common, at every spot; Boyer had 12. Boyer also had a Swamp Sparrow. A Tree Sparrow was along the spillway south of Hoover Dam Blackbirds - small flocks of Redwings flew south past the Walnut St ramp and at inniswood. Inniswood also had 35-40 Common Grackles staging for a roost somewhere to the south. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
