I went up to Conneaut harbor yesterday, arriving about noon. There were some shorebirds moving through in the afternoon and early evening. I went back at dawn today, it was pretty slow so I left about 9:30 AM. Birds seen/heard on Monday included: double-crested cormorants, least bittern, green heron, bald eagles, osprey, semipalmated plover, lesser yellowlegs, spotted sandpipers, whimbrel, sanderling, semipalmated sandpipers, least sandpipers, short-billed dowitchers, a juv. herring gull, Caspian terns, willow flycatcher, purple martins, 150 bank swallows, and marsh wrens. This morning featured 43 turkey vultures, sanderling, and a Forster's tern. Overnight, thousands of "blackbirds" (red-winged blackbirds, c. grackles, and E. starlings) poured into the vegetation on the spit. Their arrival and departure were pretty impressive, a virtual river of birds. There were a couple yellow warblers giving call notes overhead both days, but I
couldn't tell if they were migrants or just the locals getting the itch to go soon. Later, Craig
