I did stop at Sims Park on Lakeshore Blvd in Euclid this morning from 10:50 to 12:00 noon. Not many Red-breasted Mergansers mostly saw many groups flying by. I planted myself at the west end of the park which turned out to help this time to see the Tundra Swans as I later could not see them from the pier. Here is what I could find: Swans approx 30-33 very distant probable Tundra Swans northwest of west end of park in the water Black Scoters 7 females Bufflehead ~ 10-11 Common Goldeneye ~ 8 Ruddy Ducks 6 Common Loon 1 Horned Grebe at least 45-50 (probably many many more I missed) Bonaparte's Gulls - did not count- more numerous now my only pictures of the Swans look like mashed potatoes as the sun was gone by the time I got to the park and they were very far away. There was also a group of about 30 dark ducks that flew in near the swans but I could not ID - looked possibly like Black Ducks - not sure.
