This morning, on my way to a construction project at the historic Ashtabula Harbor Lift Bridge, I made time to go by the Conneaut sandspit and lagoon area. I recorded 28 species from 7:45 to 8:30 AM.
The soft sand on the way in and out is still a real danger for getting stuck! I suggest you follow the water's edge. Here were the highlights:
 
Pied-billed Grebe     1
Black-crowned Night-Heron     1 (juvenile)
Green Heron     1 (juvenile)
Great Egret     1
Green-winged Teal     7
Northern Shoveler     1 (fall male)
American Coot     2
Semipalmated Plover     2
Killdeer     3
Black-bellied Plover     4
Lesser Yellowlegs     1
Ruddy Turnstone     1
Dunlin     1
Little Gull     1 ( Note: no Bonaparte's Gulls)
