Trevor Wearstler and I decided to hit the lakefront today. Noteworthy finds: Eastlake had, aside from this year's standard collection: Ring-necked Duck Long-tailed Duck (being very uncooperative) Black Scoter Red-necked Grebe We missed the Harlequin, but it was seen earlier and later in the day Cleveland along the Cuyahoga at a Cleveland Metroparks restaurant whose name I forgot: Nice assortment of diving ducks Ruddy Duck Pied-billed Grebe Lorain Impound: Snow Buntings Common Redpolls (2 flocks) Lapland Longspur (2 birds) --aside, Trevor had seen the longspurs there last week, but unwittingly, on the OTHER side of the river, he said they were in a flock of about 20-30. We did not have time to search for this flock, but keep it in mind if you are searching the area. Lorain Airport: Frozen toes, 2 Horned Larks and NO Short-eared Owls. We were there from 5:15 or so until 6:30. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
