My email was not working last night, sorry for the late post.

I stopped briefly at Conneaut Saturday 9/11.  There was a lot of exposed
mudflat, but the usual shorebird area was dry.  What shorebirds were around
were along the bay by the observation platform.  There were a ton of gulls
around with a lot of birds sitting in the shallows north of the flats and a
lot were on the outer breakwalls.  Birds of note was a LAUGHING GULL (juv)
and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL (2nd cycle).  I'm guessing the laughing gull
was the same bird seen about a week ago.  There were a couple eagles and a
peregrine occasionally scattering the gulls.

Shorebirds seen were semipalmated plover, greater and lesser yellowlegs,
semipalmated sandpiper, least sandpiper, and sanderling.  Ducks seen were
mallard, green-winged teal, and northern shoveler.
