Thanks Steve! What would I do without you??
Your reply reminded me that, in addition to all of the loons,
scoters, grebes, and gulls at Aurora, I also had one DOUBLE-CRESTED
CORMORANT.

Re: loons
On Oct. 23 of last year, just north of Long Point State Park, I
happened
upon a large group of loons actively diving. Ring-billed gulls and
cormorants were also present. I counted 110 loons. Shortly after
this the
diving activity ceased, and the loons rested at the surface. I
counted 360
loons at that time. Doing some crude calculations, I figure Bob had
about
500 loons at Aurora today.

I made a quick run up to Aurora over lunch today. The water was flat,
no shimmer, and all the birds on the water were readily visible. In
addition to a flock of Ring-billed Gulls and 2 Great Black-backed
Gulls, I noted 171 Common Loons. I am sure that there were more. They
were spread out across the lake and actively diving. Also: 1 RED-
NECKED GREBE, 1 Horned Grebe, 6 SURF SCOTERS, 6 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS,
2 LONG-TAILED DUCKS.
And on the way up, at Myers: 74 Common Loons, 1 RED THROATED LOON, 3
SURF SCOTERS.
