I went to the power plant in Eastlake Sunday afternoon and was surprised the gates were opened.  The lake looked pretty frozen up there were two openings - one to the east by the Chagrin River but it was hard to see.  To the west there were many ducks by the west breakwall.  I couldn't find anything unusual but did see some variety.   Here is a list of what I saw:

  Hooded Mergansers -  37+
  American Wigeon 2 m & f
  Horned Grebes 7+
  Pied-billed Grebes 1
  Canvasbacks 15 or more
  Lesser Scaup (few Greater) 50 or more of both
  Redheads 25+
  D.C. Cormorants 2
  Goldeneye, A. Coots, R.B. Mergansers, Buffleheads, GB Heron
  Mockingbird 1  (on Erie St
  Great Black-backed Gulls, Herring & Ring-billed
