I was not able to get back to where the adult California gull was today, but
was able to view that area from a distance.  There were probably 20% or less
the number of gulls that were there on Monday and Tuesday.  The west winds
were kicking the lake up and most of the gulls had dispersed.  What I did
notice today was a small movement of gulls westward along the lake and
almost everyone was a herring.  They are predicting some north winds over
the next few days and the gulls may be concentrating in some of the usual
areas.



I covered some of the southern parts of the Lake Erie Bluffs Park and turned
up some decent birds.  I found red-headed woodpecker, yellow-bellied
sapsucker, and gray catbird.  I also had a couple young northern harriers
and several golden-crowned and one ruby-crowned kinglet.



At our Baker Road Park in Leroy Township, Lake County I had a hermit thrush,
several golden-crowned and one ruby-crowned kinglet, and several
yellow-rumped warblers.  The first 100 yard of the trail is lined with
crabapple trees and they were loaded with birds.



For directions to both parks check the lakemetroparks.com website.
