With almost all other water frozen, there was an impressive collection of
diving ducks for the Cincinnati stretch of the Ohio River today. I viewed
from the Ohio side, but most of the birds were in Kentucky waters. The
White-winged Scoters were right about on the state line in that area, and
likely spent time in both states. The stretch of river surveyed would
roughly be from Covington to Melborne on the Kentucky side. See eBird for
specific location breakdowns.

185 Canada Goose
14 Mallard
155 Canvasback
32 Redhead
2 Ring-necked Duck
44 Greater Scaup
2 Lesser Scaup
2 White-winged Scoter - viewed from the overlook at Rivertowne Marina (OH),
far upstream near 4 Seasons Marina (OH).  There's not really a good
landmark on the Kentucky side for that particular area (Campbell Co.)
8 Bufflehead
78 Common Goldeneye
2 Common Merganser
7 Red-breasted Merganser

87 Ring-billed Gull
17 Herring Gull


Good birding,
