With daylight fading on the last day of the month, there she was! An out-of-place female Wood Duck on the Cuyahoga River became species #100 for me slightly after four this Saturday, the 31st. Seconds later, she dissappeared into the brush along the riverbank, and had I arrived a minute later, I wouldn't have detected her presence. The bird was at the Riverview/Bath intersection in CVNP - thanks to those who reported it on the listserve. I should also mention that I did not leave the northeast part of the state during the month - no Killdeer or Wilds trips - and more importantly, I didn't even have to miss any work, or really stray from my usual birding habits!
