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.
