Yea! They do exist! At most bodies of water I checked this afternoon. Still no Snow
Goose though…. I chased a Kentucky Ross's yesterday. Success! I love birding Kentucky
And it’s close! Right across the river for me. I live in Cincinnati. Kentucky bird! And I still
Need Snow Goose for Kentucky! It seems to be a good year for Ross's in SW Ohio and
Vicinity.
50 or so Horned Larks. After all those my last time up there!! Most of the snow has
Melted. Tracking down field birds with no snow cover is a very tedious process. I wait
For snow! I still need snow bunting for Clinton.
A nice surprise was 7 shorebirds - either Snipe or Dows - very far. And somewhat into
The sun….. they were shadows. Feeding. I admit to not knowing the feeding behavior of
Snipe - I will study that when I get a chance! They were on the open on a mud flat. Which
Seems normal for Snipe in Ohio! Shorebird sp…..
I stopped at that boat ramp at Caesar creek before heading home. Yep. Gulls out there!
This was about the time I started counting gulls on Friday for the survey. I did not have
The time to scan well. Had to get home to a zoom meeting at 6:00. Made it! I'll be glad
Next year to not have to make that drive down I71. The traffic…….
Good birding all. Black Duck was new for the Clinton big year. 188. Inching up there….
