I found two Lesser Black-backed Gulls just off the beach at Dillon reservoir today amidst hundreds of Ring-billed and good numbers of Bonaparte’s plus a couple Herring Gulls. Aside from a few Great Blue Herons, there wasn’t much else there. I checked the marina and the spillway but only picked up mallards, more Great Blues, TVs & a Kingfisher.

I had never been to Seneca Lake so I continued on hoping that I might pick up ravens for Ohio given a recent report of them from there. I did not see or hear any ravens, just a few crows. There were over a dozen Hooded Mergansers but no ducks besides mallards. lots of Canada geese. there was also a large flock of Black Vultures hanging out by a roadkill and then I saw a few catching thermals by the lake. Red-shouldered Hawk & an imm Bald Eagle. 

No white blobs along the route that I could turn into Snowy Owls.
