Greetings---highlights from the Cleveland lakefront from E. 72/E. 55 area yesterday: canvasbacks, redheads, greater scaups, bufflehead, c. goldeneye, 9 ruddy ducks, 5 pied-billed grebes, bald eagle, 270 Bonaparte's gulls, 2 lesser black-backed gulls, 3 glaucous gulls. N. harrier and Am. kestrel were spotted at Burke Airport. Off Edgewater Pk. were buffleheads, c. goldeneyes, and common merganser. Earlier I stopped at Eastlake Power Plant. The parking lot at the seawall is closed, with a No Trespassing sign posted. You can park at the entrance to the parking lot and scope from there as in previous winters. Ducks were disappointing here with only small numbers of Am. black ducks, buffleheads, red-breasted and common mergansers noted. Gull numbers were decent. There was 1 glaucous gull.
