Kay Lauener and I visited Mogadore Reservoir yesterday. There is still one small area of open water off of Congress Lake Road. If you haven't been, there is a good pull off area, and the birds are fairly close. From there, we observed: 30 Canada geese 10 Hooded Mergansers 3 Mallard 1 Gadwall 4 Ring Necked Ducks 50 Ring Billed Gull 2 Red-tailed Hawks Went to Deer Creek Reservoir and Berlin. Did not see the Redheads and Canvasbacks that Craig reported. Must have been in the wrong locations. Have never birded this area before, so I was not sure where to go exactly. Drove down Price Rd, Lowe, German Church, Bandy and Wagoner, back up 14 to 224, and ended at the Berlin Dam. We did see 100's Canada geese (one banded with an orange band @ Price Road bridge. Sorry, I could not get any numbers) 1000's of ring billed gull- especially at the Berlin Dam. Wow that's an incredible amount of gull! I don't know my gull at all- if you are into them, its a good spot. 8 Red breasted Mergansers 1 Hooded Merganser 1 Common Merganser 7 Red Tailed Hawks (2 pairs in one location) 1 Red Shouldered 1 Coopers Today we went to Lake Rockwell to see the Bald Eagles, and were not disappointed. Saw 4 immatures and 1 adult (didn't get a great look- was flying away) feeding on the deer carcass (how did that get there, for real?!?) Also went to Herrick Fen-3 Red-shouldered Hawks (2 in one location off Seasons Rd.) 2 Northern Flickers, 15+ Chickadees, 1 Downy, 1 Red-bellied, and 1 Northern Shrike. Obviously, the Shrike was awesome. It was in the open/brushy field when you first start on the trail. I think someone else had seen it before on the list. Saw it as we were leaving at 2:30. There is also open water to the left of the entrance to the area, across the open field. (maybe SB lake 5 on google map)- 50 Canada and 4 Mallards seen there.
