There was a good variety of waterfowl this afternoon at Sandy Ridge reservation of the Lorain County Metroparks. Dominant species were American Coot and Ring-necked Duck with both species numbering at least a couple hundred. The water level was rather high with no shorebird habitat and consequently, no shorebirds. Species seen today: American Coot Pie-billed Grebe Horned Grebe 3 Canada Goose Gadwall American Black Duck Mallard Northern Shoveler Green-winged Teal Ringed-necked Duck Lesser Scaup Bufflehead Ruddy Duck Other birds: Belted Kingfisher Turkey Vulture Red-bellied Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Brown Creeper Golden-crowned Kinglet White-breasted Nuthatch Song Sparrow Red-winged Blackbird John and Ann Edwards Rocky River (Cuyahoga County) --------------------------------- Don't be flakey.
