I headed for Villa Angela and Wildwood State Parks on Lake Erie today to see if I could find anything.  I was there a ridiculously long time for what I was seeing from 11am to 4pm.  Temp 43 deg, winds 8-10mph N, NNE to N.  The cold weather brought back more Red-breasted Mergansers when I didn't see any Friday evening.  Saw no warblers.  Only new birds I saw here were Blue-headed Vireos and White-eyed Vireo.  Here are just a few of the birds seen:
 
Hooded Mergansers 3 females in marina
Red-breasted Mergansers 70+ 
Bonaparte's Gulls 30+ still some in marina

Blue-gray Gnatcatchers 11 (mostly VA)
