There were really nice numbers of waterfowl today on Shenango Lake.
At the Shenango Wildlife Area Propagation Ponds:
There were over 238 Pintails! The most I've ever seen at one time. 10 Tundra Swans, 76 American Wigeons, 42 Gadwall, 15 Green-winged Teal, etc. The ponds are open with not much ice.
At Mercer Rec. on East Lake Road:
HUGE NUMBERS! 38 Tundras, 39 Gadwall, 42 Wigeons, 43 Mallards, 86 Pintails, 118 Canvasbacks, 73 Redheads, 152 Ring-necked Ducks, 350 Common Mergansers, 2 Horned & 3 Pied-billed Grebes, etc. There were sooo many more to count, but I got too cold!
Golden Run has a lot of open shoreline since the water is down, so the best place to view this large expanse of open water is from Mercer Rec.
