I was in Northwest Ohio this morning and had a chance to bird along the
lake.  At Maumee Bay State Park I had the two WHITE-FRONTED GEESE.  They
headed out pretty quick and I never did see them again.  I birded that area
early and again until noon.  A lot of geese started coming back in to the
interior swimming beach around 11:30.  Included in that group were a flock
of 9 CACKLING GEESE..  The cackling geese stuck together the entire time I
watched them.  Not much else other than 6 snow buntings on the lake beach.
At Bayshore Power Plant there were 5 Great egrets and a few black-crowned
night-herons.

After leaving the Maumee Bay area I had a rough-legged hawk along Howard
Road just north of Route 2.  At Metzger marsh Wildlife Area there was a late
AMERICAN BITTERN.  It flew out of the Phragmites


At Ottawa Refuge there were numerous tundra swans heading south out of the
marsh.   In all I saw at least 200.  There was also a single snow goose with
a flock of Canada Geese.  Between today and Tuesday in the Cleveland area I
have had all 6 Ohio species of geese.  With a lot of luck that could be an
interesting one day goal.  Also at Ottawa Refuge there was a NORTHERN
SHRIKE.  It was on the dike north of the old headquarters.  There was also a
flyby LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, greater yellowlegs, and 6 dunlin.

I was at Conneaut harbor yesterday (11/22).  There were two LONG-TAILED
DUCKS  with a group of scaup in the harbor.  I also had a group of 7
black-crowned night-herons.  Not much else there or at Ashtabula Harbor.
