Hi all, Spent the day at Headlands from 6:30 am until 4 pm. During this time I didn't really leave the breakwall so I don't know what was really going on inland, but I think I have a pretty good grasp on waterbird movement for the day. Ray Hannikman was there for about 3 hours this morning and a group of amish birders were there for about and hour and a half in the afternoon. Almost all of the ducks were heading west while all the gulls seen were moving east. Here's the run down for the day: Snow Goose- Had 25 fly by while I was out there, consisted of 6 White and 19 Blue. Canada Goose - none moving on the lake, however a Bald Eagle scared up a few hundred birds from the fields east of Fairport Harbor. Tundra Swan - 3 groups totaling 56 birds - all headed east. American Black Duck - 18 with a few Mallards mixed in. Mallard- 7 Green-winged Teal - 31 mixed in among various flocks (Scaup, Mergansers, Mallards etc.) Lesser Scaup - 113 Greater Scaup - 12 Athya sp.- 75 White-winged Scoter - 17 seemed like a high number came in several small groups - heading east for some reason. Black Scoter - 5, 1 with 2 White-winged and one group of 4 birds. Also all heading west. Dark Scoter sp. - 12 too far out to tell if they were Surf or Black but they were heading west Long-tailed Duck - 1 male buzzed west late in the day - always a treat. Bufflehead - 42 Red-breasted Merganser - about 900 birds total for the day Common Loon - 45+ most were heading south flying high overhead. Double-crested Cormorant - 316 Bonaparte's Gull - between 5 and 600 were seen over the course of the day - no Little Gull Herring Gull - 36 Great Black-backed Gull - 1 Snow Bunting -6 Horned Grebe - 0 (how?) Tomorrow, it's back out there to do it all over again. Good Birding, Phil Chaon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
