Greetings---I went up to Pymatuning today 9/15. There is a little bit of mudflats at the west end of the Rte. 85 causeway. Found in this area were: green heron, merlin, sempalmated plover, greater & lesser yellowlegs, stilt sandpiper, belted kingfisher e. phoebe, and scarlet tanager. Over on the PA side of Pymatuning I added great egret, bald eagle, Am. kestrel, Caspian tern, and e. bluebirds. Next I ventured up to Conneaut. Big mistake...today was the annual re-enactment of the D-Day landing. I couldn't even get out to the flats, it was blocked by "soldiers". A green heron and 2 black-crowned night-herons were at the lagoon. Next I went west to Lake Shore Park in Ashtabula. Another mistake...Rib Burn-Off taking place there. I tried a little lake watching from the bluff above the boat launch, but saw nothing better than double-crested cormorants. Last stop was at the small lake beside the Ashtabula Mall. This lake is usually good for waterbirds, but today it
had only geese. Sensing more bad luck, I didn't even go to Walnut Beach. Later, Craig
