While walking around the lakefront without binoculars today, I was able to
observe a few species: Thousands of gulls kept up a steady squalling racket,
8 coots were swimming around near the William G. Mather, a pied-bill grebe
was diving for food, and a single male red-breasted merganser was floating
along in the open water on its own personal ice floe. I've never observed
this behavior before. I couldn't tell if it was injured or just resting. A
small flock of juncos were feeding among the plantings along the Port of
Cleveland fence line, too.
