Greetings---Started this afternoon at Frohring Meadows in Geauga Co.  Juvie killdeers, savannah sparrows, and a bobolink were found.  This place will be good for a variety of field/grassland birds come fall.  Buff-breasted sandpipers are definitely possible here.  On to Ashtabula Co.  At Orwell Marsh were 3 blue-winged getting frisky and a hooded merganser w/young.  On to Conneaut; today was OK there with a semipalmated plover, 11 semipalmated sandpipers, 4 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, 2 dunlins, 7 imm. Bonaparte's gulls, willow flycatcher, warbling vireos, marsh wrens, yellow warblers, purple martins, bank swallows, etc.   All of the WESAs were imms. w/2 first-cycle birds and 2 second/first summer birds.  I got to study the peeps as close as 10 feet away from my car (blind).   Later, Craig
