Hi everybody, I went to a park on the shore of Lake Erie in Madison this evening (9/28) and there was absolutely nothing except Ring-billed Gulls. The lake was very rough and there was practically NO beach at all. Also, the very harsh winds should blow some rare migrants off course. Watch along the coast for the Franklin's Gulls and Black-tailed Gulls. Maybe tomorrow there will be some pretty rare birds. I would also recommend trying to get out to any park near you or Conneaut Harbor because the mudflat should start holding water again for some shorebirds and ducks. Good Birding, Cole F.
