I birded a few places in Ashtabula Co. today.  I started at Conneaut harbor.  I was pretty much skunked there, as the westerly gale had flooded the sand road at the entrance to the spit.  Much of the spit was underwater too.  I was able to look at the lagoon and from the parking areas by the marinas.  Birds found included 2 red-breasted mergansers, a flyby flock of 25 semipalmated sandpipers, Bonaparte's gull, Caspian tern, and lots of bank swallows (nesting colony in a sandpile in the industrial part of the harbor).  From there I went to Stollaker Rd. in Denmark Twp.  You cannot access Stollaker Rd. from SR 193 now, as 193 is closed on both sides of Stollaker due to construction.  I had to go to Stanhope-Kelloggsville Rd. and turn onto Stollaker at it's east end.  At  least there was a machine evening out the gravel road while I was there.  About halfway down the road a pileated woodpecker flew across in front of me.  I proceeded to the west end of the road where there are quality grasslands, there I saw the upland sandpiper (perched on poles and in flight, heard it call too), Am. kestrel, horned larks, and bobolink.  My last stop was at the causeway at Pymatuning Res. (Ohio side).  Seen there were double-crested cormorant, bald eagle, Bonaparte's gull, common tern, belted kingfisher, and cliff swallows.  Craig Holt, Lowellville
