Summary Overview
Of special note were the Black Scoter, Wild Turkey and Killdeer. High count of Red-tailed Hawk and Cooper's Hawk. Low
numbers of big water ducks as well as species and numbers of gulls. Lake Erie was wide open ... it was just too darn nice a
day. Other notable sightings - painted turtles sunning themselves at Lake Isaac, fresh spider silk.
