I probably should have posted this yesterday, but only thought to do so now, since I'm seeing such low gull totals from other reservoirs. The gull action in central Ohio is definitely at Deer Creek this year. Yesterday afternoon I went there and tried to scope through the massive numbers, but it was too windy to really pick much out. My rough estimated guess for gulls there yesterday (Oct. 29) was ~1200 Bonaparte's, ~1000 Ring-billeds, and ~10 Herrings. The Laughing Gull is probably still there, but it was too windy to pick out. There were also probably ~1500 Am. Coots in 4 large rafts on the reservoir. Noteworthy lingering birds seen at Deer Creek yesterday included 1 Barn Swallow, and 1 Indigo Bunting.
