Over 20 members of Western Cuyhoga Audubon (along with a changing cast
of independents) spent most of the morning scoping the flats. There was
essentially the same cast as yesterday: many least and semipalmated sandpipers,
two spotted sandpipers, one each Baird's and western sandpipers, a few lesser
and one greater yellowlegs, a dunlin, and two short-billed dowitchers; mallards,
shovelers, blue-winged teal, wood ducks,two beautiful male ruddy ducks, and a
couple of immature hooded megansers; coots and common gallinules (adults and
youngsters); a young black-crowned night heron. No soras seen today, though
they're surely still there.
Two Cooper's hawks, a juvenile and an adult, made separate strafing runs the
lenghth of the water and later a subadult bald eagle drifted past.
Earlier-arriving birders reported a Wilson's phalarope and a stilt sandpiper in
the north pool but they were gone or hiding when we walked around to the site.
