A quick meeting move to Lake Metropark’s Lakefront Lodge in Willowick produced great waterfowl movement this morning. We watched from 9:30am- 3pm. By afternoon things died down considerably. Highlights were ~200- 300 each of White-winged and Black Scoters. Most birds were flying east, with a couple of largish flocks resting off shore. One lone bird cruising over the lake was strongly suspected of being a Brant, but no other geese were seen. Species seen where: Brant – 1 likely Mallard – small numbers Black Duck – 1 with Mallards Lesser Scaup – Few flocks Greater Scaup – not confirmed but likely in the Scaup flocks White-winged Scoters – 2 00-300 Black Scoters – 200-300 Buffleheads - ~5 Goldeneye – few Red-breasted Mergansers – a few flocks Ruddy Duck ~3 Double-crested Cormorant – few flocks Herring Gulls Ring-billed Gulls Boneparte’s Gulls Andy ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
