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. Gabe Leidy Sheffield Lake Sent from Yahoo!
