The previously reported Red-throated Loon and Long-tailed Duck continued at Avon Lake, this AM. Perhaps others who've seen the bird can comment, but the Red-throat did not look entirely healthy - the bird had its head tucked the entire time I was present, the first time I've ever seen a loon "sleeping" for this length of time. The Long-tailed Duck was sitting on the ice just out of view beyond the west breakwall, but flew out and landed quite near the pier for a short time. All three mergansers were present, as well as two Ring-necked Ducks, but scant gulls. Emil and I birded at Mohican SP/SF yesterday morning. Highlights: Black Vulture, Rough-legged Hawk, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Yellow-rumped Warbler (4), Purple Finch (2), and Pine Siskin (2). We encountered at least 400 robins throughout the morning; robins and Canada Geese seem to be at all all-time winter highs this year. Joining a flock of Cedar Waxwings near the Lodge was a bird with orange-tipped tail. Emil and I pulled off the "procrastinator's" January 100, last weekend. On Sat. morning I had 83 total. A whirlwind birding trip around northern Ohio ensued and by midday Sun. - #101!
