Birders, from about 8:00 to 11:00 I made my way from MLK to rocky river E72 had several thousand gulls, almost all of them ring-bills- I did not see a single bonaparte's. There were a few herring, and one odd gull with bright yellow legs and a more gentle graceful head than the ring-bills. It looked a lot like a mew gull- but it had the ring on its bill. NO white-winged gulls seen. The E72 boat basin had a pair of horned grebes, but no other ducks. E 55 had several coots, two bufflehead, two female hoodies, a female canvasback, a male redhead, and what looked from a great distance like a female goldeneye. A few Canada Geese I tried to get to whiskey island via edgewater park, but did not find either whiskey or an island- ignornat me! Same gulls, no ducks. Rocky river mouth was pretty empty; I missed hte redpolls :( Off to CVNP. later, BIll ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
