Fellow inland birders,

     Made a swing past Buckeye lake this morning, along with Vicki Derr.
 We found one *Lesser Black backed Gull* sitting on the ice with about 100
ring billed gulls.  It was toward the Eastern end of the lake viewable from
the Heron Bay Development.  This is a County first for us.  Hope you
Buckeye lake birders will get out to see (confirm) this one.

     Also got a Dark Morph Red tailed Hawk along Honey creek road just past
the Wild Wing sign.  It was being harassed by Crows along the edge of a
large empty field on the south side of the road.  This was also a first.
 Have never seen one of these in the East.

     To cap things off, got a Brown Thrasher on Stone Quarry Road off RT
13, North of Somerset.
