This week we decided to mix it up a bit and travel to the beaches of Lake Erie to look for local water fowl.

Here we see a Great Black-backed Gull (upper left) surrounded by many Ring-billed Gulls.

Here are a couple of mallards.

A closer look at the great black-backed gull and ring-billed gulls.

Looking east, we had a great view of downtown Cleveland.

We caught sight of a new species we hadn't seen before. After looking into it, we've concluded that these are Red-breasted Mergansers.

Here is a shot of a large flock of red-breasted mergansers.

Until next time!
