Stopped at Whiskey Island to check out the icy lighthouse Saturday just before sunset...gulls galore in the water in foreground but in a small cove in the Cuyahoga by the Conrail bridge were several cormorants content to let me get close, and a grebe, not sure which one, all not minding my proximity. A couple photos here: http://www.pbase.com/tileman533/2010&page=33 If I'd had a longer lens with me I could have had a nice tight shot of the grebe but at least I had the camera!
