Despite the cold drizzle and snow, it was a nice afternoon to be out
birding. At the west end of the causeway there were 2 Dunlin, 60+
Ring-billed Gulls, and 4 Bonaparte's Gulls. Along the road north there
was a Cooper's Hawk perched on a telephone pole.

At the Padanaram boat launch I had about 25 Common Loons fly over,
fairly low and looking like they might put down nearby. Finally some
loons in the area!

A short ways farther north I stopped at another spot, it's on the Ohio
side of the lake but it's technically part of Pymatuning State Park in
Crawford County, Pennsylvania. It's a good spot for waterfowl and
woodpeckers this time of year. A group of Tundra Swans came in for a
landing while I was there. Here's what I saw:

Tundra Swan, 14
Belted Kingfisher
Pileated Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker, pair
Downy Woodpecker
Black-capped Chickadee
Golden-crowned Kinglet

Good birding!
