A bit off topic but I follow the Minnesota Bound "Larry Backlund's Loon Cam/Blog" and today he posted the following. Fun to hear this kind of stuff. "Today there is also news that Loon #55489 just moved from the Gulf of Mexico to southern Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio. So if you are near Lake Erie, you may want to make a trip down to the shore to see if you can spot some of the loons on Lake Erie. And if one of them has an antenna sticking out of his back.... looking like your kid's radio control car ..... that is our loon #55489! He apparently did it in one of those marathon flights and may have flown all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Erie in one non-stop flight." ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
