i went down to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame around 2:30 this afternoon (before the snow started flying), the inner harbor held 8 american coots and 3 common mergansers (2 males). there were around 100 gulls flying, fishing, swimming or perching and being overall noisy annoyances. only IDed herring and ring-billed. will check out gordon park and either wildwood or sims tomorrow after school. leaning toward sims as wildwood held little at that hour a few days ago. buster PS - i live on cuy/lake/geauga county lines and was wondering if anyone could explain the absolute absence of turkeys this winter. first time in 10 years here that there were ZERO turkeys (not even 1 track) the entire winter. usually had very frequent visitors in many different groups every year since moving out here. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
