Today there were over 170 Tundra Swans in the shallow waters to the south 
of Perry's Victory on South Bass Island. The numbers have been growing 
with the cold weather. There were approx. 20 Mallards along the ice on the 
shore and about 30 Canada Geese and approx. 100 Scaup swimming around with 
the swans. Further out in deeper water were about 30 American Goldeneye.
In Put-in-Bay Harbor, there were 2 greater black-backed gulls in with the 
Herring Gulls. There were lots of Bonaparte's yesterday. There was a mix 
of many bufflehead, scaup, mallards, about 4 hooded mergansers, and about 
4 double-crested cormorants swimming near the reef between South Bass and 
Gibraltar Island.
