I had to go to Lorain today and did a small amount of birding along the way. Things were pretty slow. At East 72nd there were a lot of Bonaparte's offshore, but nothing of note. At Lorain a lot of ring-billed gulls, a few Bonaparte's and not much else The drive home was actually much better. There was a short-eared owl flying around the east end of Burke Airport. When I got home a flock of 60 tundra swans flew over.
