Our phone/internet line was out awhile, so I couldn't post till now......on Wednesday 9/14 I visited Conneaut from 10:15 AM to 3:30 PM.  Best birds were: wood duck, 30 blue-winged teal, 2 n. shovelers, 2 hooded mergansers, 2 pied-billed grebes, 2 green herons, juv. black-crowned night-heron, 6 bald eagles, an imm. peregrine falcon (launched a quick attack while migrating past), 4 juv. black-bellied plovers, semipalmated plovers, the continuing Am. avocet, lesser yellowlegs, 22 sanderlings, semipalmated sandpiper, juv. male western sandpiper, least sandpiper, Baird's sandpiper, pectoral sandpiper, 5 Bonaparte's gulls, Caspian terns, belted kingfisher, and a singing warbling vireo.  The shorebird habitat is very good there now, and there has been very little disturbance on the spit during my recent visits.  Craig Holt, Lowellville
