Howdy all -
Chris Pierce nicely summed up today's highlights at the impoundment. A single Baird's remained and a Snowy Egret showed up around mid-morning - a youngish-looking rocking a red band on the right leg (a West Sister bird, I'm assuming). Emil & I found eight warbler sp. in the woodlot inc. a ragged YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, several weeks ahead of schedule. At Lorain Harbor proper Ruddy Turnstone and two Lesser Black-backed Gulls occupied outer breaskwalls, and three flocks of Sanderlings totaling 25 birds passed.
Also, from 0650-0845 I conducted a lakewatch from home in Sheffield Lake hoping for Sabine's/jaegers/coastal sp. fleaing Irene. No luck with anything out the ordinary, but a significant movement of Bonaparte's Gulls took place well offshore today - with 1065 birds passing in ~2 hours. This flight path was well offshore, which made picking out anything rarer that much more strenuous, but basically quite a stunning passage considering the date (Aug 28).
Good birding -
