Today at the Martin-Marietta gravel pit lake on the south side of Roxanna-New Burlington Road near Spring Valley Wildlife Area: In addition to many Canada geese and coots, an impressive showing of 14 species of ducks: *dabblers* mallards pintails (at least 50) gadwalls black ducks Am. widgeon *divers* redheads ring-necked ducks goldeneye ruddy ducks canvasback bufflehead lesser scaup hooded merganser common merganser (1 pair) Surely this extremely productive lake should eventually become public land managed for wildlife and public enjoyment! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
