I checked out the Ashtabula County lakefront  this afternoon.  There were a
few good birds around.



At Conneaut the immature male harlequin duck was still present.  It was
hanging close to the east breakwall.  Not a lot else out of the ordinary. A
few Bonaparte's gulls hunting the mouth to the harbor.  In the harbor horned
and pied billed grebe, American coot, gadwall mallard, American black duck,
greater scaup, lesser scaup, bufflehead, common and red-breasted merganser,
and ruddy duck.  West of Parrish Road on the west side of Conneaut along the
Lake Road there was a large group of Canada geese.  I had one cackling goose
in the back end of the flock.   A couple miles west of Conneaut 70 tundra
swans.



At Lakeshore Park in Ashtabula Harbor there was an adult lesser black-backed
gull, and the following waterfowl, tundra swan 24, Canada goose, mallard,
Am. Black duck, bufflehead, common goldeneye, hooded, common, and
red-breasted merganser.  I could not find the long-tailed duck.



Off I 90, west of Rte 45 there were several flocks of Canada geese in the
fields.  One flock had 4 snow geese.



When I got home I had a flock of 65 tundra swans fly over my house.   There
definitely was a nice flight of swans and geese today.
