I stopped briefly at Lorain Harbor yesterday evening. In the small boat harbor there was a single lesser scaup. I walked to the end of the pier adjacent to the impoundment hoping for a good gull or jaeger. I didn't get either, but there was a single RED PHALAROPE south of the outer breakwall. There were a few gulls in the harbor, but all I saw were herring, ring-billed, and a single great black-backed. No other shorebirds.
