I went back to Sims Park in Euclid today from about 11:45 to 1:30pm. Big difference from yesterday when there were strong northerly winds. Today the lake was smooth as glass (southerly winds) and I could see some of the birds others had seen Saturday. Here is what I saw today: Common Loons - 18 or more Horned Grebes - 130 (stopped counting at that point) had one group of 18 Red-breasted Mergansers - out further today - more than 150 Black Scoters 2 (females) as was seen yesterday by others (could find no Surfs today birds were spread out with nice weather) Common Goldeneye - at least 8 Bufflehead - few Group of 9 or 10 dark ducks farther out looked like male & female Scaup (couldn't make out any of them as Scoters) had longer necks females white around bill Double-crested Cormorants - group of about 35 Bonaparte's Gulls - were putting on a show with feeding frenzy close in the food must of been good at Wildwood Park in Cleveland earlier in the morning couldn't find much, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Golden-crowned Kinglets, 2 American Tree Sparrows and 1 - Merlin in tree.
