Went again tonight to Lorain Co. Airport with Dave Dvorak and Linda Sekura. We started off seeing a nice pair of kestrels right next to a small flock of starlings near Butternut Ridge and West Ridge Rds. Then we saw a group of maybe 100 ring-billed gulls, with a few killdeers mixed in, and about 7 herring gulls not too far away. Not too bad a start. Here's what we saw at the airport; 6 rough legged hawks of both color morphs, one pair displaying courting behaviors. 1 RTH 1 golden eagle 10+ killdeer 10+ horned larks 1 kestrel many starlings 4 grackles many mourning doves 2 N harriers also displaying some courting behaviors 3 short eared owls right after sunset flying together over the runway All in all, a great evening!
