Ben Morrison & I birded from Toledo to Lorain Friday. Highlights included:

Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo: 28 White-winged Crossbills along with one adult
male Red Crossbill just north of the closed bridge, originally in section 25
then moving north from hemlock to hemlock. 5 Common Redpolls in the
birches/alders on the NW side of the pond. Gray Catbird still in the shrubs
behind the stone pyramid on the east side of the cemetery.


Bayshore Power Plant in Oregon:  31 Black-crowned Night Herons

Huron Pier: Purple Sandpiper working along the pier a bit south of the
lighthouse. 1st winter Glaucous Gull & adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. More
large gulls here than anywhere else we've seen although many remain far out on
the distant ice. Unbelievable numbers of red-breasted and common mergs here
along with many other ducks including 100 Canvasback which have been somewhat
tough to find.

Lorain Harbor: 3rd winter Iceland Gull at the north end of the marina along with
4 adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Less large gulls here than Huron but still
huge numbers of Ring-billed Gulls and a few Bonaparte's. Incredible January
numbers of both mergansers here as well. 10 Flyby Black Scoters among the
variety of waterfowl seen from the north end of the marina.
