Robert Hershberger and I spent the morning Lake Erie watching - at Sunset Park - N. Kingsville - small public park with nice high overlook of Lake Erie about 6 miles west of Conneaut and just east of the junction of  OH 193 and 531. We also checked several places both east and west of there. Headlands was very quiet - 3 Black Scoters and some Bonaparte's. The September or early May-like weather was far too nice.
 
Common Loon - 15
Red-th. Loon - 2

However, the Purple Martin roosting at a box near Apple Creek (Wayne County, southeast of Wooster) was still there as of this morning.
