Hi all, ??? I hit several areas along the lake today, and was well rewarded. First stop was the Wake Robin Trail at Mentor Marsh. There were a ton of sparrows here! Amidst the masses of Song and Swamp, I managed to find: Lincoln's- 2 Nelson's- 2 at least maybe 4 (hard to tell if I was seeing the same bird farther down) Savannah- 1 White-throated- 2 White-crowned- 1 unidentified Ammodramus- 1 (looked good for LeConte's, but it was a really quick look, from far away, in flight) A lateish House Wren lurking in the phragmites with the Marsh Wrens and sparrows was interesting too Next was Headlands Dunes, where a nice stinging rain and whipping winds added to the fun of finding nothing out of the ordinary. I did find a first year Greater Black-backed Gull in the Harbor. Finally, I headed to Conneaut Harbor. I found most of what Mark V. reported earlier, minus the Red Phalaropes. The Red-necked Phal, Brant, and Common Mergs all offered some nice looks though. Good birding, Steve Landes ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
