I got to Conneaut harbor about 4:00 PM yesterday, and stayed until dusk.  There were 2 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES and 2 RED PHALAROPES together, feeding in the organic soup at the corner where the public beach meets the small breakwall on the west end of the harbor area.  They were so close that at times you didn't even need binoculars.  It was great to be able to compare the two species side by side.  Also at Conneaut:  brant, 2 Am. wigeon, hooded merganser, 4 pied-billed grebes, great egret, 2 black-crowned night-herons, bald eagle, 2 semipalmated plovers, 4 sanderlings, least sandpiper, 2 dunlin, 2 great black-backed gulls, and Forster's tern.  Around home base here in the Lowellville area (NE Mahoning Co.) the last couple days I found wild turkeys, yellow-bellied sapsucker, wood thrush, 2 Swainson's thrushes, gray catbird, n. mockingbird, magnolia warbler, black-throated green warbler, and e. towhees.  Later, Craig
