The weather mostly cooperated (windy w/ a bit of rain) for me during a late morning walk around the Lorain Impoundments and nearby harbor walkway. Highlights: Short-eared Owl (circled overhead for a bit over the marshy area and departed due west) Northern Harrier (female) Eastern Meadowlark (2) Northern Flicker Numerous Sparrows (many Song and I managed to spot some Chipping, Field, and Swamp mixed in) Good duck showing including nice numbers of Scaup, Redheads, N Shovelers & Bufflehead. I spotted only a couple Canvasback, C Goldeneye, and a single Ring-necked in the lot.
