Made a stop after church today to check on some of the spots around 
downtown Lorain.  I found a single mostly breeding plummage Black Bellied 
Plover that was within twenty feet of my car.  The bird was very calm and 
gave me about 5 minutes of up close looks.  This was not in the 
impoundment area but actually on the west side of the Black River in the 
area along the river behind Lorain City Hall.  There is a shallow 
depression there that often during migratory times holds some birds.  I 
also drove over near the impoundment.  I didn't walk the dikes because 
they were muddy and I was still in church clothes but I did walk up on top 
of the dyke near the entrance and scanned the area and there is a lot of 
shallow puddles in the new reconditioning that has been done to the entire 
place that might be worth checking out.  In one I did see a Spotted 
Sandpiper but I didn't go searching like I said.
