I was at Sims Park in Euclid late this afternoon from 4 to 5pm.  It has had so much ice I wasn't going there much but its open again.   The lake was calm and hazy.  Here is some of what I saw:

  Surf Scoter - 1 (first year male) dark brown bird-mottled looking, lighter breast, darker top of head, long orangish bill with some white on it, no visbile white marks on face

  Lesser Scaup - dozens
  Common Goldeneye - still over 277
  Red-breasted Mergansers - many, some Bufflehead
  Bonaparte's Gulls - many more now (saw my first dozen 3/21 at East 55th St. Marina)
  Pied-billed Grebe 1
