There was a moderate movement of birds at the Lake Erie Bluffs this morning. Most of the songbirds were heading west. Typically the majority are heading east. There were a few vultures moving, but few hawks.
A northern shrike was observed west of Lane Road. It was sitting in a birch tree southwest of the observation deck. It sat there for almost 15 minutes before dropping. I did not see it again. Also of note were 2 surf scoters, 2 blue-winged teal, 1 great egret, 1 merlin, 4 tree swallow, , and 1 eastern phoebe.
