There are extensive mudflats and shallows at Berlin Res. from the Rte. 225 bridge down now, in Stark Co.  While hiking around I met up with Mark Vass from PA; he had already seen a n. pintail, 28 great egrets, and a black-crowned night-heron.  We tallied 9 species of shorebirds: 150 killdeers, semipalmated plovers, 45 lesser yellowlegs, solitary sandpipers, semipalmated sandpipers, least sandpipers, pectoral sandpipers, 3 stilt sandpipers, and a juv. BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER.  Also in the area were wood ducks, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, d-c cormorants, adult bald eagle, Cooper's hawk, red-shouldered hawk, 625 ring-billed gulls, 2 Caspian terns, belted kingfisher, chimney swifts, e. wood-pewee, yellow-throated vireo, warbling vireos, red-eyed vireos, tree swallows, barn swallows, Carolina wrens, and cedar waxwings.  The buffy was still hanging out when I left in the early afternoon.  Later, Craig
