I spent some time yesterday afternoon in southern
Warren County looking through flocks of interior
Canada Geese. There were about 300 grazing on the
soccer field at Griffin Park, and interestingly, at
least 5 of the birds showed some form of a white ring
at the base of the black neck sock. Pairs of Ruddy
and Ring-necked Ducks were present also.
A flock of approximately 200 geese was present at a
wet-weather pond along 31-w south of Bowling Green,
including five Cackling Geese. Four appeared to be
fairly typical for B.h.hutchinsii, but one was
somewhat smaller and much darker, especially on the
breast. There is a lot to be learned regarding the
range of variation in these birds now that more
attention will be turned toward them.
Waltons' Pond hosted about 100 geese including three
Greater White-fronted.
McElroy Lake continues to rise but no birds were
present. Thirty or so Mallards were observed at
Chaney.
A dozen Redheads and a Gadwall were present at Petros
Pond.
