Today, Friday July 7th, my wife Denise and I visited "The Conneaut Sandspit", as I call it, in Ashtabula County, for about five hours. For those interested, the access toll gate, mentioned in an earlier posting by me, is now complete. Fortunately it was open this morning, with no one collecting the $5 fee. A recent attached newspaper article gives additional proposals, why it is being done, and how soon. Open the file for the update on what is planned. Thanks to Ashtabula County birder Bob Krajeski for providing the most recent local information to me. It is hoped, on my part, that regulating the access to this one of a kind Ohio birding treasure, will help benefit, to some extent, the celebrity stopover migrating birds.
