October 3, 1998
 

Eleven people braved the cold and nearly constant rain for this October adventure to the Lake Erie shoreline. We left Worthington Square Mall at 5:30 AM and birded the lakeshore until approximately 4:00 PM. Despite the weather, it was a pretty productive trip, but no rarities were found. All in all, we tallied 69 species.

Location abbreviations: Maumee Bay State Park (MB), Magee Marsh (MM), Medusa Marsh (MED), Lorain Harbor (LOR), Wellington Reservoir (WR), along the road while in route (RD).
