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
