Sorry for the last posting...yesterday, my husband and I visited Avon Lake Powerplant area, seeing the following (hubby enjoyed kicking ice off the pier): Buffleheads (24) American Coots Mute Swan resting on ice - 1st year? the bump on its beak was smallish and the beak's orange color was lighter - any thoughts on this ID? Canada Geese Mallards 100s of gulls Then to Miller Rd Park, Avon Lake, where there were a good many dark & white waterfowl (perhaps the goldeneye) past the ice edge; however, it was beyond my scope's range. During afternoon shopping errands, a foy great-blue heron did a fly-over near home and a kettle (if that term applies to tv's) of 27 tv's appeared over Crocker Park, Westlake. Happy birding. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
