I stopped at Lorain today around 11AM;  I was there for 1 1/2 hrs.  The first bird I saw was a Rusty Blackbird.  I watched him foraging for about a good 20 minutes before he flew up in a nearby tree.  The Rusty Blackbirds and Pipits were my first this Fall.    I had 29 species.  Highlights as follows:
Rusty Blackbirds-4
Black-bellied Plover-1
Killdeer-20
Lesser Yellow-legs-2
Sora-1
American Pipits-21
Coopers Hawk-1
Yellow-bellied sapsucker-3
House Wren-1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet-1
Golden-crowed Kinglet-3 ( heard many in the willows,  could not see them)
Yellow-rumped Warbler-2
Ruddy Duck-1
Coots -7
