Hey everyone, On my way home yesterday from chasing the Black-tailed Gull in Ohio, I stopped by Wallins Rd to check for the Vermilion. There, I ran into Steve Lubahn, Joan Sommer and Marylin Bontly who said they'd been there all morning with no sign of the bird. I stayed about an hour in the cold wind. No sign of it. Hopefully it has moved on to warmer climes. Oh yea, and for those wondering about the Black-tailed Gull: It has been hanging out in Ashtabula Harbor, Ashtabula, OH since last week. I saw it at 7:20am on Thurs. Great way to spend Thanksgiving!
