I was able to get to Sims Park in Euclid this afternoon from around 4:20 to 5:00pm. The lake was so smooth and calm and the setting sun was shining on the birds. Here is what I could find: Canada Geese Group 80 Ducks ~ 45 Redheads ~35 Scaup (probably Lesser) Group 20 Redheads Black Scoters 10 females Bufflehead 4 Common Goldeneye ~ 55-60 (most I have seen this season) Red-breasted Mergansers - several dozen Ruddy Ducks - saw five different groups ~ 75, 45, 7, 23, 30 = 180 Ruddies Nancy Anderson Richmond Hts, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
