Tim & I decided this morning to head to Lake Milton, hoping it would not yet be frozen. We got real lucky, with 14 species of waterfowl, 1 Red-shouldered Hawk, & 2 Bald Eagles (adult & immature). Waterfowl: Mallards--I didn't even try to count them....let's just say there were a whole lot of them. Black Ducks--started out counting them, up to about 40. Then we started hitting large #s & I quit counting. PINTAIL--1 Hooded Mergs--~45 Common Mergs--8 Ruddy Ducks--47 Buffleheads--8 Tundra Swans--17 Goldeneye--10 Redheads--~25 Coot--10 Lesser Scaup--~dozen Canvasback--1 Ringbills--6 On the way home, we went to West Branch & added a Common Loon, another adult Bald Eagle, & 2 Red-tail Hawks. We also had an immature Bald Eagle at Berlin Reservoir on the way to Lake Milton. FYI, Lake Milton is just south of the Trumbell/Mahoning county line.
