A quick meeting move to Lake Metropark’s Lakefront Lodge in Willowick
produced great waterfowl movement this morning. We watched from 9:30am-
3pm. By afternoon things died down considerably. Highlights were ~200-
300 each of White-winged and Black Scoters. Most birds were flying east,
with a couple of largish flocks resting off shore. One lone bird cruising
over the lake was strongly suspected of being a Brant, but no other geese
were seen.
Species seen where:
Brant – 1 likely
Mallard – small numbers
Black Duck – 1 with Mallards
Lesser Scaup – Few flocks
Greater Scaup – not confirmed but likely in the Scaup flocks
White-winged Scoters – 2 00-300
Black Scoters – 200-300
Buffleheads - ~5
Goldeneye – few
Red-breasted Mergansers – a few flocks
Ruddy Duck ~3
Double-crested Cormorant – few flocks
Herring Gulls
Ring-billed Gulls
Boneparte’s Gulls
