Spent a couple of hours at LaDue today looking for the Franklin's Gulls but could not locate them.  This bird has eluded us for many, many years in Ohio.  Why should I think today would be any different?  But we did see a Red-necked Grebe, swimming near the gulls.  Other highlights were about 75 Ruddy Ducks, 1 loon, 1 Least Sandpiper, 16 Cedar Waxwings & 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo that I heard calling from the woods west of Valley Rd.  Only heard it call once & I don't think any of the other people nearby heard it but I played the call on a CD to confirm that is what I heard.  We had 19 species in all.
