Robert Hershberger and I spent the morning Lake Erie watching - at Sunset Park - N. Kingsville - small public park with nice high overlook of Lake Erie about 6 miles west of Conneaut and just east of the junction of OH 193 and 531. We also checked several places both east and west of there. Headlands was very quiet - 3 Black Scoters and some Bonaparte's. The September or early May-like weather was far too nice. Common Loon - 15 Red-th. Loon - 2 Red-necked Grebe - 2 Horned Grebe - 20+ Goldeneye - 20 Bufflehead - 15 Lesser Scaup - 15 Black Scoter - 13 (several singles, groups of 3-5) no unusual gulls and no big concentrations no swallows However, the Purple Martin roosting at a box near Apple Creek (Wayne County, southeast of Wooster) was still there as of this morning.
