Sterling State Park - 04 Jan 2020
I had an hour to kill in Monroe Co. this morning so I walked the confined disposal path next to Lake Erie at Wm Sterling State Park. The lake was calm but generally void of ducks, except for a single drake American Black Duck. A few Bald Eagles in the distance and 5 fly-over Tundra Swans were the only other avian highlights. Generally dark and overcast, so the only pics taken were of some deer that appeared along the roadside as I drove in the park.
