This afternoon ,while in the Conneaut area ,I had the opportunity to visit with ,and view the efforts of the Holmes County Hawk Watch Crew, at Malek Park , for about a half hour. While there a male Purple Finch was visible and singing nearby. I am sure Bruce Glick will later post a list of thier sightings. Note:It is 160 miles one way,for them to drive to Conneaut. 320 miles round trip for the hawks.Dedication!!! 
       At about 2PM ,I did a drive thru at the sandspit area and the lagoon. 
Here are some of the highlights:
 
American Golden-Plover    2  Non-breeding plumage
Caspian Tern    35+
Black-crowned Night-Heron    2  Adults
Greater Scaup    1 female (Could this be the same individual that was here
                                   this past Fall, August thru November)
Great Black-backed Gull    6+
Blue-winged Teal    1 pair
Northern Harrier    1 female 
American Coot    6
