Yesterday afternoon, while traveling west over the Sandusky Bay Bridge, we spotted a very large gull, very white, and very black wings.  Size and coloring was very obvious, it was sitting on one of the lights.  Could this have been a great black-backed gull?  Are they becoming more common here?  Or were our eyes playing tricks?  Also spotted in very low water between Catawba Island and Portage, off Rt. 53 causeway, 9 swans, 7 mute but 2 were tundra.  And still hanging around 5-7 white egrets (If I were them, I would have left weeks ago....)
