After hearing of 51 Sabine's Gulls along the Indiana lakefront, it hardly seems mentioning one. A single immature Sabine's gull was at Lake Erie Bluffs in Lake County today. I viewed it from the northwest corner of the trail system west of the Lane Road parking lot. There is a nice area to view the lake there. It was among a group of approximately 300 Bonaparte's gulls. Although a ways offshore, it was easy to pick out with binoculars, although a scope would have been nice. Gulls often congregate in this area and it has been a good spot in the past for jaegers also.
I also had 16 species of warblers along the trails there. There were a ton of blackpoll warblers. I estimated at least 150. Nashville warblers were also numerous with at least 45. I had a Connecticut in the northeast corner of the trail system. It was doing a lot of chipping, which was what drew me to it. There were also 4 mourning warblers. The only other bird of note was a yellow-billed cuckoo.
