Lyn and all, Yes, the Columbus Audubon Avid Birders visited the Avon Lake site, along with Eastlake and E 72nd Street in Cleveland. All three had good numbers of waterfowl at close range, although gulls were once again rather scarce, with fair numbers of Ring-billeds, a few Herring, and a few Greater Black-backed (Eastlake only). At Avon Lake, there were hundreds of Canvasbacks bobbing along -- perhaps a thousand; a remarkable and welcome sight. Good numbers of scaup, American Goldeneye, and other species as well, though nothing truly remarkable. I should mention E 72nd as well: both Lesser and Greater Scaup were in the close channel, and the scope-filling views in the bright sunshine were stunning. Scaup in fresh plumage are really, really pretty!
