Greetings all - I did a short stationary count from Rocky River Park this morning, from 8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. With the unseasonally warm temps and strong convergence of WNW/SSW winds, a bizzare mix of species were moving along the lakefront. Birds were moving both east and west, with about 75%, particularly waterfowl, moving west into the headwind (20-30mph). All passerines were moving west as well. The list below includes ONLY birds that were part of the flight. So, for example, this does not include the 6 Mallards that were milling a few feet offshore.
