9)not much waterfowl present as there were lots of duck hunters around
also. Did see a Common Loon and Horned Grebe on the east side. Lots of
Double-crested Cormorants passed by on Friday AM-took over five minutes
for the large group to pass by low over the water.
Pat Chrysler reported seeing 5 Red-tailed Hawks and 2 Bald Eagles
flying south together over South Bass on Friday, November 9 around noon.
There seem to be quite a few raptors and Turkey Vultures seen lately
around the islands.

Didn't know what to do with myself this morning and then came an email from
a friend that set my feet in motion to see some great birds at the West  Woods
feeders.  These feeders were just swarming with birds of many  species, but
the ones that got me out there were:

Fox Sparrow
Pine Siskin
Purple Finch (both male and female)

West Woods is a Geauga Metropark located on Rte. 87 between 306 and  44.  The
huge array of feeders is set up right outside the glass wall  of the
magnificent nature center.  You go into the nature center and sit  down on the bench
to watch the show.  I had all the above-mentioned birds  within 10 minutes.

After West Woods, I walked the pup in the hail at Best Lake where the only
activity was a cluster of 8 Pied-billed Grebes.

A bit later, I ran into some folks from Holmes County who had 5 Redpolls in
Fairport Harbor.
