What a big difference from what was reported yesterday.  Yesterday reports
at Rocky river and Presque Isle reported large numbers of waterfowl.  Today
the only ones I saw were 10 Canada  geese.  There was a red-throated loon
out sitting on the lake.  It appeared that it may have been a winter
plumaged adult bird.  Unfortunately it kept diving and rapidly went out of
site to the west.  There was a good movement of Bonaparte's gulls.  They
started around 9:00 and were heading east.  I was able to pick two adult
little gulls out of the flocks.
