Thanks to Craig's earlier report went to Conneaut for a couple of hrs. Had the juvenile western sandpiper, red knot and baird's-- all exceptional close views. No scope needed. Just use your car as a blind. Total of 8 species of shorebirds. While studying the intricate feather patterns on the red knot, a laughing gull flew in and graced us with his presence ( thanks to Craig for his sharp eyes). The laughing gull gave us a great aerial show; his coloring was phenomenal. Also a great comparison to the other gulls present, including a greater black-backed. A truly wonderful afternoon!
