Hello folks -

Earlier today some of the Headlands crew observed a female KING EIDER at
Mentor Lagoons (see previous post).

This same bird (very likely) or possibly (?) even another individual (?)
made it's way to Eastlake Power Plant, according to John Pogacnik,
respectively. He states: "The KING EIDER ended up at Eastlake Power Plant at
about 12:15.  It landed and disappeared amongst the mergansers and waves."

John also reports a fly-by PARASITIC JAEGER at Eastlake.

For further information on Eastlake Power Plant environs please see:

Yet another way-cool detail John provides is a comment on LONG-TAILED DUCK
numbers at Presque Isle (PA), a quick drive from Conneaut, OH. A
well-seasoned birder there, Jerry McWilliams, respectively, " had
long-tailed ducks outnumbering red-breasted mergansers, 3,795 to 3,295 near
Presque Isle.

THAT...folks......is just - plain - cool.

Good birding.
cheers

Jen
