In the event that you have not been able to get to Ashtabula and are still going to try, here is the only picture I have from today (through my spotting scope). I offer it because the bird is among a group of Ring-billed Gulls for comparison (there are thousands of Ring-billed Gulls at Ashtabula). http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattvalencic/6597115829/in/photostream#/ Matt Valencic Chagrin Falls, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
