Check out our friend that stopped by the Lorain Lighthouse for a break today!

Thanks to the new Lorain Lighthouse Live Cam, we were able to spot this visitor perched on the lighthouse and zoom in for a closer look.

Now we need some help from our birding friends. Can anyone identify what species this little guy is? Drop your guesses in the comments below and let us know what you think!

One thing is for sure, he picked a pretty great place to enjoy the view of Lake Erie!

Check out the view yourself with a lighthouse tour this summer. https://lorainlighthouse.com/upcomingevents/
