I led a field trip for the Black River Audubon Society at Lorain Harbor this
morning (3/17). Conditions were miserable with a strong wind out of the
north that made conditions for gull and duck watching excellent. there was
a nice variety of ducks in the harbor. the best bird was a male COMMON
GOLDENEYE x HOODED MERGANSER hybrid. It was hanging with a group of
goldeneye just east of the sewage treatment plant. There were quite a few
gulls around the best variety was sitting on the ice just south of the
lighthouse. Again the best birds were hybrids. There were two GREAT
BLACK-BACKED x HERRING GULL hybrids, a 2nd year bird and an adult. Other
gulls of note were at least 3 GLAUCOUS GULLS, and at least 5 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS. Here is a list of birds seen:
