Location Greenlawn Ave dam, Columbus, OH
Around this time, I noticed that I had a streak going of at least one new bird per month. I wanted to keep this going, and I just barely did on January 31st. And what a way to continue the streak! I finally got a couple of ducks, and the goldeneye was a real treat -- a true winter bird.
After this day, the Greenlawn dam area would become a haunt of mine for the rest of the winter and early spring. (I had not discovered Blendon Woods yet, which is generally better, except maybe for birds like the goldeneye).
I don't remember the exact count, but I do remember that there were multiple males and females.
They were below the dam, and I saw them as I stood near the small parking area near the trail head.
I'm not sure when I acquired my 10x50 binoculars, but I'm quite sure I had them by this time, or I never would have been able to see them.
