I was at Sims Park from about 9AM-10:30AM. All 3 species of scoters were present. One lone bonaparte's gull. Black scoters-6 Surf scoters-6 ( 1 nice male ) White-winged-3 Stopped at Eastlake Power Plant on the way home. Red-breasted Mergansers and Bonaparte's in good numbers. Otherwise fairly quiet. Had some good company with some good stories while waiting for the little gull to flyby; it never did while I was there! Left around 1:30PM. Great Black-backed-3 Blue heron-1 Sally Isacco, Chardon ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
