The sharpie flight today was quite enjoyable, and much stronger than expected for this date, with a good number of birds dipping fairly low over our heads.  A fair number of harriers also passed at low-altitude, including a number of males.  Emil Bacik and I were joined by Robert Hershberger, Craig Holt, Greg Miller, Jerry Talkington, and Suzanne Wagner for most/part of the day.  Today's totals from Conneaut's Malek Park (courtesy of Robert, who kept impeccable hourly totals):

Turkey Vulture  1195
Osprey  1
Bald Eagle  1
Northern Harrier  17
Sharp-shinned Hawk  277
Cooper's Hawk  21
Red-shouldered Hawk  22
Red-tailed Hawk  125
American Kestrel  10
Merlin  3

Common Loon  4
Wilson's Snipe  9
Northern Flicker  40
Purple Martin  1
American Pipit  2

Included in this tally were a few hawks moving just after daybreak at Conneaut Harbor.  The highlight on the sandspit was an out-of-place Great Horned Owl in a willow thicket out near the point...probably a short-distance migrant.  Also present were two Dunlin.

Good birding -
