Greetings- The question has risen as to the best time of day to witness waterbird movements on the lakefront. Typically flights begin between 8:30 a.m and 9:00 a.m. Flights peak, almost like clockwork, at and around 9:30 a.m. They slow significantly after 11 or 11:30 a.m. Today's count at Rocky River was a rare day in regards to the flight lasting through 1 p.m. but yet again, today's flight peaked at 9:30 and slowed at 11:30 a.m. So, get out in the morning! best of birding- Jen Brumfield Sent from my iPod ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
