I took a drive along the Ashtabula County Lakefront this afternoon. I thought there might be some remnants of yesterdays flight, there wasn't. I was surprised at the lack of waterfowl along the lake. there were a few mergansers here and there and that was about it. The largest group of Bonaparte's gulls was at Conneaut, about 800 birds. There were Bonaparte's gulls elsewhere. The only bird of note was a first cycle LAUGHING GULL at Lakeshore Park in Ashtabula. It was probably the same bird that was spotted there last weekend. Here is a brief synopsis of the highlights: Conneaut black-crowned night-heron- 1, lesser yellowlegs-1, dunlin- 9, sanderling-1, Common tern- 16 on the ground at one time, but probably twice that number, Forster's tern- 1 juvenile, snow bunting 300+, several flocks passed by east to west Ashtabula Harbor Laughing gull- 1 Geneva Red-headed woodpecker-1 John Pogacnik 4765 Lockwood Road Perry, OH 44081 (440) 259-2751 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
