Hi all,

A decent movement of birds occurred last night throughout the eastern US
with the current southerly winds. Here in the Magee Marsh region, migrants
were evident this morning. Along the boardwalk, earlier migrants such as
Golden-crowned Kinglets, Brown Creepers, Fox Sparrows, and Winter Wrens (in
full song!) were abundant, good numbers of Northern Flickers were moving
west along the lakefront, and the west entrance to the boardwalk produced
three species of warblers: Yellow-rumped, Pine (vocal), and a female Common
Yellowthroat. Checking past listserv posts, eBird and other sources, this
appears to be the first migrant Common Yellowthroat of the year for Ohio.

Also of note, several of the farm fields in the surrounding area are
hosting tens of thousands of gulls. Chris West, Sherrie Duris and I had a
couple Lesser Black-backed Gulls yesterday off Howard and Seaman Roads.
Sherrie and Chris also had a 2nd cycle Thayer's Gull at Maumee Bay State
Park at the inland beach.

The Eurasian Wigeon reported off Park Colony Road (northwest of Metzger) on
Sunday evening was not relocated.
