After not finding many gulls in Cleveland,  we headed west to bird by the
power plant at Avon Lake. There was one male Wood Duck present! There were
hundreds of Common Mergansers. Other ducks present were Bufflehead, Common
Goldeneye, Redhead, Lesser Scaup, Canvasback and Red-breasted Mergansers.
Two Mute Swans were there. There was quite a bit of open water - much more
than anywhere else along the lake.

There were probably 50 Black-backed Gulls. Also present was one adult
Lesser Black-backed Gull and one first cycle Glaucous Gull. Before our
arrival a first cycle Iceland Gull had been seen. The gulls were on the ice
out fairly far. A scope is necessary.
