Hi all,
Took a little trip to Conneaut today, as expected the birds were different from yesterday.
The turn over was constant which made things fun, I had a total of 12 species of shorebird as well as plenty of other birds.
Least Sandpiper - Most common shorebird largest flock was 36 with several smaller flocks
passing through.
Semipalmated Plover - 26
Killdeer-18+
Semipalmated Sandpiper - 4
Short-billed Dowitcher - 6, no Long-billed that I could find, the fact they were calling
constantly made ID alot easier.
Greater Yellowlegs -2
Lesser Yellowlegs- 1
Pectoral Sandpiper - 3 together in small flock
Sanderling-1
Ruddy Turnstone - 1
Bairds Sandpiper - 1
Wilson's Phalarope - 1 interesting looking bird. Molting juvenile came in with the largest
flock of Least's and associated closely with them, eventually leaving
with them.
Other birds of interest:
Marsh Wren - 8 singing
Bonaparte's Gull - 7
Common Tern - 3
Bank Swallow ~ 270 (closest count I could get)
Bald Eagle - 1 juvie.
Yellow Warbler - 25+
Good Birding,
Phil Chaon
