Today at Lorain Harbor there were a lot of large gulls crowded amongst the Spitzer Marina boat docks.  Including the three Bonaparte's that Chuck Slusarczyk Jr. observed here earlier, there were nine gull sp. totaled today:
 
CALIFORNIA 2 2nd & 3rd-cycle
Thayer’s 1 ad
Iceland 2 2nd-cyc & ad
Lesser Black-backed Gull 13
Glaucous 1 1st-cyc Emil had this bird after I left on the west side of the harbor
 
There are photos of the California and others, and full description, on the blog site:  http://northnw.wordpress.com/
 
Good birding!
