Hey all - Thanks to a timely call from Bret McCarty, I was able to observe a male HARLEQUIN DUCK at E 72nd St, this afternoon. The bird was ridiculously cooperative - check out the photos at : http://www.flickr.com/photos/28939750@N05/ If the addy doesn't work, replace the 'at' with the 'at sign.' Thanks, Bret! Many marvelous birds were observed at HBSP, this morning. I was a bit of a late arrival, but I was able to observe first and second-yr LITTLE GULLS from the lighthouse pier. There are still MANY, MANY Bonaparte's Gulls at the river mouth and beyond. A close flyby Surf Scoter was another highlight. Good birding - Gabe Leidy Cleveland, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
