I checked some lakes in Mahoning Co. the last couple days.  Gulls were more conspicuous than waterfowl for the most part.  Yesterday 11/4 at L. Milton were 100+ Bonaparte's gulls but little else.  I only got to look from the Rte. 224 causeway at Berlin Res. (at the Portage/Mahoning line); 6 tundra swans flew by, and the lake held 300+ Bonaparte's gulls.  Today at Evans L. were buffleheads, ruddy ducks, pied-billed grebe, horned grebe, great blue heron, and 140 Am. coots.  Pine L. hosted Canada geese, mallards, ring-necked ducks, ruddy ducks, double-crested cormorants, red-shouldered hawk, 200 Am. coots, Carolina wren, Am. robin, and swamp sparrows.  All of these lakes have some ring-billed gulls and a few herring gulls too.  Craig Holt, Lowellville
