Hi all,
This question has come up in the past--not to pick out anyone in particular,
but it would be helpful if everyone would remember to indicate where their
sightings were--the more specific, the more helpful. Even if Scott Pendleton
has been posting his surveys every week, some of us have trouble remembering
such details...and that seems to be getting worse...
Thanks.
Good birding
PS--Beth and I went down to the Cleveland lakefront this morning in the
hopes of seeing some waterfowl riding the winds in--maybe it was too
windy--the waves were dramatic, but they put on a better show than the
birds--at the Dike 14 turning basin, Gordon Park, East 55th Steet and around
Muni Light, we had lost of Canada Geese, lots of Ring-billed Gulls, LOTS of
Double-crested Cormorants (hundreds), some Mallards, and that was about
it...
