I was at Conneaut this morning
No shorebirds here

the highlight was a single BRANT that showed up and spent time feeding along the wall

a Peregrine Falcon made several appearances here harassing the gulls
it captured a Bonaparte`s but dropped it and it flew away

there was still a Marsh Wren here and number of both kinglets,White-crowned & White-throated Sparrows & Yellow-rumps
had a Brown Creeper here

2 Tree Swallows

1 adult Great Black-backed Gull

I saw a green wing-tagged Ring-billed Gull
I have never seen a wing-tagged gull before

in front were 3 Black-crowned Night Herons and 2 Soras

I stopped at Pymatuning
in a cove at the causeway

39 Pectoral Sandpiper
7 Dunlin
17 Lesser Yellowlegs
2 Semi-palmated Plover
52 Green-winged Teal
2 Common Merganser

a Peregrine Falcon attacked the shorebirds but came up empty
