It is definately starting to feel like spring outside. I had my first grackle for Hancock County of the year leaving a "calling card" on my car this morning. Over at Camp Berry, where I stopped by to talk to the camp manager, I heard several Red-winged Blackbirds fly overhead.
At the Wastewater Treament plant just beside I-75 in Findlay sported Several Redheads and a Lesser Scaup.
The Findlay Reservoirs are still iced-over, but will be opening soon. The shoreline is starting to show water. Of course this didn't stop the ice fishermen from being out there. At least three were on #2 at noon on Saturday. I rather enjoy fishing but I'm sorry, I don't get it. You couldn't pay me enough to walk out on solidified water, especially when it's melting!
Hello, and welcome! My focus here is to cover birds and birding of Hancock County, Ohio with a bit of the surrounding area. Any birding questions or comments, please feel free to email me hancockbirding@gmail.com
