The woods were very quiet this morning and the waves were moderate,
coming on-shore from the lake. I didn't see any shorebirds, few gulls
and herons, and a few Mallards. The woods were quiet, too. Robins,
Carolina Wren, Chipping Sparrow, Blue Jays, mostly. The treats were a
bedraggled Eastern Kingbird, probably molting, and a single
Olive-sided Flycatcher. A check of Peterjohn's book shows that the
Olive-sided Flycatchers typically show up along the Lake Erie shore
from mid-August through mid-September. It surprised me because I'm
used to seeing them during the summer in the Adirondacks of NY rather
than coastal woods.
