Greetings all - The adult basic BLACK-HEADED GULL continues as of this morning around 10:30 a.m. at Lorain Harbor. Heavy snow made visibility rough this morning. The bird came in from the harbor "mouth" and made its way into the harbor and quickly sat down amidst a Bonie flock out towards the west breakwall. Great scope views were had of the bird sitting on the water. The leucistic Bonaparte's Gull remains. A first-year Bonaparte's showing a very heavy black "M" was also present, looking very much like a 1st year Little Gull at first glance. At least 5,000 Bonaparte's remain. A flock of Snow Buntings came in off the lake and put down on on the west jetty. A nice grouping of large gulls at Avon Lake Powerplant produced two adult and a first year Lesser Black-backed. A single Surf Scoter off of Rocky River Park was a nice pickup. best of birding - Jen Jen Brumfield [log in to unmask] Cleveland, Ohio 330-701-6452 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
