I was at Conneaut Harbor on Friday.  there was a nice variety of shorebirds
there with a small number dropping in and out while I was there.  The best
two birds, red knot and buff-breasted sandpiper did not hang around long.
The red-knot was with five sanderlings.  It flew in and left within a
minute.  the buff-breasted stayed even shorter.  I doubt that it landed for
five seconds before heading west.  There were also least bittern, green
heron, black-crowned night heron, great blue heron, great egret, gadwall,
American black duck, blue and green-winged teal, osprey, bald eagle,
Bonaparte's ring-billed, herring, and great black-backed gulls, and Caspian
and Forster's terns.

Here are the shorebird totals:
Semipalmated plover  16
Black-bellied plover  2
Killdeer   1
Spotted sandpiper   1
Greater yellowlegs   27
Lesser yellowlegs   16
Ruddy turnstone   1
RED KNOT   1
Sanderling   9
Semipalmated sandpiper   14
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER   1
Least sandpiper   6
Pectoral sandpiper   1
Stilt sandpiper   4
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER   1
Short-billed dowitcher   5
Common snipe   1
