We visited Lakeside Landing in Lorain, Ohio today after hearing of great sightings in that area. We got a lot of first-time views of different species, with one being particularly exciting!
A coot
Martin in his element
Our first verified sighting of a Bufflehead, this one a female.
Another first verified sighting, this time of a female Lesser Scaup
Our first sighting of a Common Redpoll
A group of coots
A group of mergansers
Our super exciting view of a Snowy Owl!
Given the markings, we think this is an immature female
She drew quite a crowd of birders on the pier near where she was sitting
Until next time!
LOVED the first-time sightings: Bufflehead, Redpoll, Scaup, and of course the Owl ..., even if she was immature. Thanks for sharing! <3
