I was down in Franklin county this morning and stopped at a couple
spots on Woods Reservoir. Hundreds of horned grebes on the lake,
smaller number of ducks and a decent number of common loons. Highlight
was a flock of 26 White-winged Scoters, most female/immature, a flyby
of 9 Surf Scoters, and 2 more likely female/imm white-winged scoters
sleeping a long way off from the dam (couldn't see a wing patch, but
it can be hidden, and they didn't fit for sleeping surfs from what I
could see in the wind and shimmer when they looked around a couple
times very briefly).
Other notable birds include about 20 Common Goldeneye, 6 lesser scaup,
1 greater scaup, 1 female red-breasted merganser, and a couple bald
eagles.
Here's to the crazy cold weather!
