E. 72nd Street, Cleveland
10 a.m. - Noon
Quite a few hardy souls braved this morning's single-digit temps to do some
gull watching at E. 72nd street, as part of a "bird walk" (mostly standing
and shivering) with Cleveland Metroparks and Western Cuyahoga Audubon. The
Harbor area is starting to freeze up and there are more large gulls coming
in, with similar finds as were reported yesterday. The partial list from
this morning included:
Mute Swan
Gadwall
Canvasback
Redhead
Lesser Scaup
Common Goldeneye
Bufflehead
Common Merganser
Red-breasted Merganser
Peregrine (one adult - chased a couple of gulls and kicked up the flocks -
later landed on a window ledge on upper story of the power plant)
American Coot
Pied-billed Grebe
Double-crested Cormorant (3)
Bonaparte's Gull - 80+ (rough estimate - nearly all adults)
Ring-billed Gull (thousands)
Herring Gull (thousands)
Lesser Black-backed Gull (probably 3 adults, at least one 1 first winter)
Glaucous Gull (1 adult)
Great Black-backed Gull ~50 - very rough estimate
