I spent a couple hours on the tower at Lake Erie Bluffs this morning. There were small numbers of birds moving. Over the lake there were a number of gulls, cormorants, and Canada geese moving. Of note was a single black tern (uncommon locally) and a merlin that flew out to harass a couple bald eagles. There were a few songbirds moving west along the lake including eight species of warblers. A few unidentified warblers were passing by at first light.
