Jerry Sniderman and I stopped by Lorain on our birding excursion to
northern Ohio today.  There were stiff winds out of the west under
sunny skies when at 1:30 p.m. we flushed two Short-eared Owls from
about 10 feet off the low dike around the impoundment near the
southwest corner (the corner closest to the the parking lot).  It was
a stunner as the birds were totally out in the open close to the dike
in the middle of the day.  They drifted off to the east and seem to
land somewhere near the lake shore.
