I was at Sims Park this afternoon in northeast Cuyahoga County on Lake Erie. One group of birds I could not positively ID. Here is the main stuff: Very Black Colored Ducks - 4 looked like Surf Scoters-sides of head had white but didn't look like Ruddy or Black Scoters. When I went down to the beach to get a closer look they were gone-I think the sailboat spooked them-they didn't appear to be feeding-I think they went west-later I saw four black ducks flying further west Red-breasted Mergansers - 8 Common Loons - 3 Horned Grebe - 5 Double-crested Cormorants - 150 a couple long flotillas Bonaparte's Gull - 5 Brown Creepers 3 Ruby-crowned - many, Golden-crowned few Winter & House Wren 1 each Black-throated Blue 2 m & f Yellow-rumped - everywhere Hermit Thrush 2 Nancy Anderson Richmond Hts, OH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
