What a big difference from what was reported yesterday. Yesterday reports at Rocky river and Presque Isle reported large numbers of waterfowl. Today the only ones I saw were 10 Canada geese. There was a red-throated loon out sitting on the lake. It appeared that it may have been a winter plumaged adult bird. Unfortunately it kept diving and rapidly went out of site to the west. There was a good movement of Bonaparte's gulls. They started around 9:00 and were heading east. I was able to pick two adult little gulls out of the flocks.
