I was at Sims Park in Euclid late this afternoon from 4 to 5pm. It has had so much ice I wasn't going there much but its open again. The lake was calm and hazy. Here is some of what I saw: Surf Scoter - 1 (first year male) dark brown bird-mottled looking, lighter breast, darker top of head, long orangish bill with some white on it, no visbile white marks on face Lesser Scaup - dozens Common Goldeneye - still over 277 Red-breasted Mergansers - many, some Bufflehead Bonaparte's Gulls - many more now (saw my first dozen 3/21 at East 55th St. Marina) Pied-billed Grebe 1 Nancy Anderson Richmond Hts, OH http://www.flickr.com/photos/nancy_a/ --------------------------------- Don't be flakey.
