Greetings----Still scrutinizing the Conneaut-Ashtabula lakefront.  After the wind shift this afternoon, 2 POMARINE JAEGERS put in stunningly close appearances at Conneaut harbor.  The first was a darker bird, stayed several minutes about 1:10 PM.   The second came in twice around 3:30 for quick gull-harrassing.  The 2 hen long-tailed ducks are still present and usually very close to the east marina.  One is apparently a first-fall bird, much darker-headed than the other.  Bald eagles were seen at both Conneaut and Ashtabula Power Plant.  A turkey vulture was a surprise at Walnut Beach today.  Greater yellowlegs and 75+ dunlins remain at Conneaut, along with 4 black-crowned night-herons.   Small numbers of Am. pipits and snow buntings are passing by every day.  The Lake Erie November rarity machine seems to be getting cranked up lately, judging from recent reports.     Later, Craig
