I was at the Avon Lake Power Plant today from 3:15 - 3:45. 3 paddle boarders were there, they went all the way out to the farthest ice shelf scaring away many birds.

These photos can be seen at: http://northnw.wordpress.com/ The dark blobs are scoters - 121 was my high count this morning. This brutal, sustained winter throughout the Great Lakes has definitely made for some abnormal avian action locally. Also, included are a shot of two (of the six) Red-necked Grebes present, and a shameless male Canvasback.
