Hoover Dam in Westerville: It's where the ducks are!

Last night, on the advice of a very good friend, our family went to Hoover Dam in Westerville, Ohio.

It seems that Westerville is not at war with water fowl! There are literally hundreds happily swimming on the water!

There are ducks and geese all along the reservoir. However, we found the biggest concentration near the boats docked closet to the dam.

When we saw the feathered creatures swimming on the water, we pulled into a parking lot and took our bag of cereal with us!

Carefully we made our way down to the water. (On our way we even saw a heron!) As we approached the water, the ducks and geese started swimming our way. Clearly we were not the first to visit hoping to share leftovers!

The frenzy that followed was highly satisfying! It was like "Shark Week" on animal planet but much safer!

If you'd like to feed the ducks and geese, see flocks of sea gulls and maybe spy a heron or two, Map quest Hoover Dam in Westerville, Ohio!
