This pm at Pickerel - the pond north of the woodlot (access from Lot B) has been flooded; no bare shore at all.  Some unvegetated spots visible from the observation platform had both yellowlegs, semipalmated plover.  There's no legal entry to the ponds there because of the hunting.
 
Both ponds behind the "Fish Work Unit" buildings at Willow Point are flooded; the closer has a very small bit of open shore which was birdless.
 
Re the Lorain impoundment, as Gabe noted, what little land isn't covered with phragmites and smartweed is dry.
