Nice variety of yard warblers this morning. C. Yellowthroat, Magnolia,
Chestnut-sided, A. Redstart, Wilson's, Black-and-white, Nashville, and
a couple unidentified, possibly immature Connecticut or Mourning. A
Brown Thasher was lurking in one of the scrubby patches where some
warblers were foraging. Nearby fledgling/juvenile Cedar Waxwings were
begging for food. Also watched a pair of immature Yellow-bellied
Sapsuckers, 1 male and 1 female, swooping upwards from a dead tree to
catch flies, and back down to the tree. That was pretty cool.

Yesterday afternoon Christine and I went to Conneaut Harbor, our first
time out looking for sandpipers. We probably spent as much time
looking at the field guide as looking at the birds. Nothing special,
but we were happy to see a bunch of new species. In no particular
order:

Caspian Tern, 2
Turkey Vulture, 12
Ring-billed Gull
Herring Gull
Greater Yellowlegs, 2
Sanderling, ~20
Semipalmated Plover, 10+
Willet, 1
Lesser Yellowlegs, 3 or 4
Least Sandpiper, 2
Semipalmated Sandpiper, ~10
Great Blue Heron, 2
Hooded Merganser, 1
