I spent a couple hours at Conneaut Harbor this morning (5/19).  There were a
few shorebirds moving, but few hung around due to all the bald eagle
activity.  There were a minimum of 15 eagles sitting on the breakwall and
they constantly were flying around scaring everything off.  Despite that,
there were a couple good birds.  I had  single red knot and white-rumped
sandpiper.. There were only a few gulls and most were ring-billed and they
were on the beach to the east.  here is a list of the sandpipers

Semipalmated plover   7
Black-bellied plover   2
Killdeer   3
Spotted sandpiper   4
Ruddy turnstone   2
Red knot   1
Semipalmated sandpiper   3
Least sandpiper   1
White-rumped sandpiper   1
Dunlin   2
