There have been some good birds at Conneaut this morning. I arrived about 10:00. Unlike most days, the nest birds have been in the east end of the harbor. There has been a 1st cycle Franklin's gull feeding at the river mouth with Bonaparte. Earlier they were at the mouth and now they have moved up the river a bit.
There have been close to 200 horned grebes in the harbor and marine area. There has been an eared grebe at the mouth of the creek. I kept watching to see if it would go into the marina with all the horned grebes. No luck.
There are 100+ snow buntings east of the marina. I also had a pomarine Jaeger come over the east breakwall then head back east.
There were two purple sandpipers on the west breakwall. The only good bird on the mudflat was a Bonaparte's immature with an incomplete hood.
