Greetings---I was out in the field all day yesterday 7/24 in the NE counties of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Portage and Stark.  Quality shorebird habitat is widespread this fall in this part of the state.  12 species were found: killdeers, semipalmated plovers, greater yellowlegs, lesser yellowlegs, solitary sandpipers, spotted sandpipers, WHIMBRELS, sanderlings, semipalmated sandpipers, least sandpipers, pectoral sandpipers, and short-billed dowitchers.  2 whimbrels were early morning flybys at Conneaut, another one was cooperative at West Branch SP in the early evening.   Other places for waders are Orwell marsh, Grand River WA (Norton Lane ponds), Mosquito L., and Berlin L.  Numbers are rapidly building at Berlin--park beside the little bridge along Greenbower Rd. and walk north along the usual shoreline to view the flats.  This site will only get better as the water drops.  The main lake at Mosquito is now down enough to create mudflats.  The view from Hoagland-Blackstub Rd.
 is best.  2 blue-winged teal and hooded merganser were also there.  Mosquito was excellent for raptors with bald eagles, ospreys, and a hen n. harrier.  Another treat was a couple of red-headed woodpeckers.   Green herons were at seen at 3 sites, and Berlin had 3 great egrets and an ad. black-crowned night-heron.  Swallows are gathering at a number of places, with purple martins, banks, barns and a few cliffs present---not many tree swallows yet.  At least 15 migrant yellow warblers were at Conneaut, right on time.  Gulls and terns were few there, though.  A hummer out on the spit may have been a migrant.   A pied-billed grebe at Grand River WA was hopefully a breeder.  Later, Craig
