I was in Ashtabula Co. from morning to 4:00 PM yesterday.  It was a combination birding/OBBA2 atlasing and scouting day.  On the way north to Conneaut I saw a pileated woodpecker in Hartford Twp. (Trumbull Co.) and an Am. kestrel in Monroe Twp. (Ashtabula Co.).  First stop was at Conneaut harbor.  Birds were in low numbers and variety there, best were: 1 lesser scaup, 1 red-breasted merganser, a wild turkey (by the lagoon), imm. bald eagle, n. harrier (made a low pass and kept going), spotted sandpiper, least sandpiper, 1 Bonaparte's gull, 4 great black-backed gulls, bank swallows, and white-crowned sparrows.  Next I headed south.  I saw a broad-winged hawk in Conneaut Twp.  I looked around Pierpont & Denmark Twps. some for possible upland sandpiper without success.  I did find 2 Am. kestrels, bobolinks, and e. meadowlark there.  Next I headed to southwestern Ashtabula Co.  At Orwell Marsh: Canada geese and mallard w/young, blue-winged teal, 15
 lesser yellowlegs, 2 solitary sandpipers, spotted sandpiper, 22 pectoral sandpipers, 2 Wilson's snipe, and yellow-throated vireo.  By then it was afternoon, I spent the next few hours in Orwell Twp. and New Lyme Twp.  Lots of good habitat and 2 State Wildlife Areas there.  Bird highlights were: lesser yellowlegs, spotted sandpiper, 3 pectoral sandpipers, least flycatcher, e. kingbirds, yellow-throated vireo, red-eyed vireo, warbling vireo, horned larks, e. bluebirds, wood thrushes, blue-winged warblers, 2 cerulean warblers, ovenbird, Am. redstart, scarlet tanagers, swamp sparrows, rose-breasted grosbeaks, Baltimore orioles, and purple finch.  Craig Holt, Lowellville
