I was in Northwest Ohio this morning and had a chance to bird along the
lake. At Maumee Bay State Park I had the two WHITE-FRONTED GEESE. They
headed out pretty quick and I never did see them again. I birded that area
early and again until noon. A lot of geese started coming back in to the
interior swimming beach around 11:30. Included in that group were a flock
of 9 CACKLING GEESE.. The cackling geese stuck together the entire time I
watched them. Not much else other than 6 snow buntings on the lake beach.
At Bayshore Power Plant there were 5 Great egrets and a few black-crowned
night-herons.
After leaving the Maumee Bay area I had a rough-legged hawk along Howard
Road just north of Route 2. At Metzger marsh Wildlife Area there was a late
AMERICAN BITTERN. It flew out of the Phragmites
At Ottawa Refuge there were numerous tundra swans heading south out of the
marsh. In all I saw at least 200. There was also a single snow goose with
a flock of Canada Geese. Between today and Tuesday in the Cleveland area I
have had all 6 Ohio species of geese. With a lot of luck that could be an
interesting one day goal. Also at Ottawa Refuge there was a NORTHERN
SHRIKE. It was on the dike north of the old headquarters. There was also a
flyby LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, greater yellowlegs, and 6 dunlin.
I was at Conneaut harbor yesterday (11/22). There were two LONG-TAILED
DUCKS with a group of scaup in the harbor. I also had a group of 7
black-crowned night-herons. Not much else there or at Ashtabula Harbor.
