This is the Ohio Rare Bird Report for September 28, 2007.
Compiler: Paul Gardner. Email: [log in to unmask]

Seasonal Highlights: Shorebird numbers and diversity seem to be
in deep decline, or perhaps we've just gotten tired of chasing
and reporting them. Songbirds remain diverse and numerous. The
stars of the week are gulls. Although there are no review-list
birds on the RBA this week (a first for the year), the
lingering Sabine's Gull may be a first state-record of a sort.

Willet: One has been frequenting a drawn-down pond at the St.
Marys Fish Hatchery, Auglaise County. Photos from the 27th are
in the Sabine's Gull thread at Rarebird.org.

Franklin's Gull: The Indian Lake, Logan County, bird from last
week was observed by Ben Warner on the 22nd.

Little Gull: Ray Hannikmann and his compadres saw two buzz the
west beach at Headlands Beach State Park, Lake County, on the
24th.

Sabine's Gull: Apparently discovered on the 25th by Mary
Misplon at the St. Marys Fish Hatchery, the bird was widely
observed and photographed as late as the 27th. There is a
negative report from the morning of the 28th. Photographs at
Rarebird.org and elsewhere. Although not a review-list species,
a Sabine's gull lingering for more than half a day at an Ohio
site may well be the rarest bird to grace these reports.

Yellow-bellied Flycatcher: One was at the Strimple Road/golf
course "lake" area of the Miami Whitewater Forest, Hamilton
County on the 22nd according to Albert Scruggs.
