Great waterfowl numbers today along the Erie Co shoreline.  The following numbers are the culmination of three spots - Volunteer Bay, Beulah Beach (both west of Vermilion), & Huron Pier:

Common Goldeneye  2500
Lesser Scaup 1650
Redhead  1200
Common Merganser  1050
Canvasback  450

Lots of gulls offshore, as well, but at a distance.  15 wigeon at a private residence in Vermilion & 24 pintail at Huron rounded out the waterfowl picture.

Also, two Cackling Geese at Thunderbird Hills South golf course on SR-13 in Huron.  This course has some great crossbill habitat, but no such luck.

A couple hundred scaup & Redhead were gathered along the Black River in Lorain.
