Nice to bird the "local patches" this morning, after chasing birds around the state for the past several weeks.  Migrant numbers overall were down , but there were a few nice surprises:

Short-eared Owl  Lorain Impoundment  this bird actually settled down in a tree after the initial flush; don't think I've ever had a migrant do this, though it still would not allow me close enough for photos

Orange-crowned Warbler  Wendy Park  wooded strip bordering the lake (east end)

Worm-eating Warbler  Cuyahoga Co - on private property, unfortunately
