Put this under, anything can happen in the birding world...  Had to go
to Cleveland Museum of Natural History yesterday and bird the way home
to Tiffin.  Cleveland lakefront was a little slow.  But along US 6
just before the Cuyahoga-Lorain county line, in a residential area
close to Lake Erie, I noticed a crow harassing a raptor which I
thought at first was a Red-tail but as the bird began to try to
escape, I realized it was a Short-eared Owl.  All of this was above
the tree tops at 12:30 PM and not a field to be seen...  The owl
continued north and, I assume, out over Lake Erie.

At the Lorain marina, I found the reported adult Laughing Gull resting
on one of the sets of docks.  There were 100's of Ring-billed Gulls
resting on these docks but this individual was resting by itself.
