Hi All- Had a GREAT time over the weekend at the Owl Symposium. Headed home Sunday night after visiting family in Hamilton--then had my fan belt crap out near Ashland. After spending the night there and then getting the truck fixed on Monday, continued back to Akron. Lots of Kestrels along the way, and Red Tail Hawks. Stopped by the Portage Lakes area south of Akron and was treated to good birds at Long Lake and Summit Lake. Both lakes had very small open areas but those areas were hopping. Both lakes had pretty much the same waterfowl- Buffleheads Mallards Hooded Merganser Canvasbacks Red-headed Common Goldeneye Pied-billed grebe Ring-neck Black duck Scaup sp. Mute swans Canada Geese and 1 noisy white "farm goose" Good birding to all- Sandy Brown Akron Oh ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
