Hi Folks - 
 
Nothing unusual at Summit Lake (Akron), Nesmith Lake (Portage Lakes, Akron), and Springfield Lake (east Akron, Springfield); however these mid-sized bodies of water have harbored quite a few rare birds in their day and are always worth checking, especially this time of year. I did a quick run-around in hopes of turning up an odd scoter or other waterbird.
