Summit Lake in Akron was packed with waterfowl today. Birds were mostly on the eastern side of the lake. Plenty of Canada Geese, of which about a third of them flew out while I was there early A.M. Highlights include:
- Canada Goose - 1,600+
- Gadwall - 15 (8m,7f)
- Mallard - 75+
- Northern Shoveler - 20 (11m,9f)
- Ring-necked Duck - 104 (96m,8f)
- Lesser Scaup - 4 (3m,1f)
- Bufflehead - 5 (1m,4f)
- Hooded Merganser - 24 (9m,15f)
- Ruddy Duck - 48
- Pied-billed Grebe - 4
- American Coot - 238
- Ring-billed Gull - 372
- Herring Gull - 4
Also had an adult Bald Eagle on the high-tension tower near Rt. 224 & Manchester Rd. Long Lake was mostly frozen and held some Canada Geese and 1 male Northern Flicker. North Reservoir was frozen. East Reservoir had plenty of geese near the island along with 2 Mute Swans, Mallards, Ring-necked Ducks, 6 Bufflehead and 7 Common Goldeneye along with more coots. Heading back towards home I had a lone male Wood Duck in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the Cuyahoga River at the Bath Rd. bridge.
