11-12 in middle of Cayuga Lake just off my shore here in Lansing. More north and south. Can hear much "hooting" from them. To me it sounds like squeaky, high-pitched dog barks.
They were joined by lots of Ring Billed Gulls, a few Herring Gulls, and a couple DC Cormorants hoping to steal fish from Loons. Then a male White Winged Scoter flew by, going south! Yellow Rumped Warbler up by RR track, along with all the feeder birds and Woodpeckers (Downy, Hairy, Red Bellied).
