Lake Erie (a little late)

So I never got around to posting my Lake Erie blog...oops.

Lake Erie has lots of birding spots, and the first place we went to was Sheldon Marsh in Huron, Ohio. There, we heard and saw:

• several White-throated Sparrows
• Blue Jay
• Slate-colored Junco
• Black-capped chickadee
• Mallard
• Herring gull
• Bonaparte's gull
• Ring-billed gull
• Ruddy ducks

The next day we went to a different area, and we saw a ton of duck species there, including:

• Bufflehead
• Redhead
• Lesser Scaup
• Mallard
• Canada Goose
• Lesser Tern
• American Coot
• Bonaparte's gull
• Double-crested cormorant
• Herring gull
• Greater black-backed gull
• Fox Sparrow
• Northern shoveler
• Gadwall
• Slate-colored Junco
• Blue-winged teal

 Both nights we were in Lake Erie we went banding for the Northern Saw-whet Owl, which is the smallest owl species in the Eastern US. The first night we were unsuccessful, but the second night we managed to catch one!
