Birded Conneaut beach from about 5:15pm to 7:15pm today. Gulls and Caspian Terns were actively feeding and a nice sized group put down on the beach and hundreds filled the breakwalls. Bonaparte's and Forsters were absent this evening but a small group of Common Terns pushed through.  Along with the usual sightings here are some of the highlights:

2 American Golden Plovers
1 American Avocet
1 Juvenile Black Crowned Night Heron
4 Hooded Mergansers
3 Gadwall
2 Green Winged Teal
2 Lesser Yellowlegs
1 Greater Yellowlegs
1 Pectoral Sandpiper
11 Common Terns

After an overcast day the sky finally cleared a bit and the sunset was spectacular!!

Best of birding to you!
