I was able to get out to the Lake Erie Bluffs this afternoon for a couple hours and spent some time on the trails and in the woods west of Lane Road.  Of note were 3 fish crows that were heading southwest toward the landfill.  The were calling quite a bit.  One yellow-breasted chat was seen and heard in the field west of Lane.  It was about halfway back on the southernmost trail.  Along the trails there was easily 150 yellow warblers.  It seems every few feet one would cross the trail in front of you.  There was also several palm warblers and a common yellowthroat.  There were also over 100 gray catbirds with at least 30 in the northwest corner of the field feeding in the area of sumac.  There were also three thrashers in this area.
Also of note were 6 solitary sandpipers, one spotted and a Wison's snipe all along the trails.  A sora was heard south of the trail.  Overhead I had a northern harrier and an osprey.  Not bad for north winds and fog.
