here is a list from the Lake Erie Bluffs from this morning.  Nothing that unusual, but there was a nice variety of warblers.  you had to go into the woods to see them.  We saw a lot on the unimproved trail that runs south from the southwest corner of the Bluffs Trail.  The trail is wet in spots, but that's where we saw the most variety.  I was with Jim Smallwood part of the time.I'm still not seeing the midges hatching out of the lake yet.  Once they do, the warbler numbers pick up quite a bit.  It should be soon.
