Bill Whan's posts on the shorebirding of years past has been interesting. I was curious to see if the weather may have made a difference, but according to the records, both in 2002 and 2003, the weather was similar to what we've been having lately:

I have to admit that lately, faced with a choice between birding in the sweltering heat and spending time with my toddler, I've been picking the latter, but I am ready to get out and look for some shorebirds, too.
Looking at rare birds reported outside of Ohio, this might be a good time to get out and look: Besides the Yellow-nosed Albatross in Ontario and the Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush in South Dakota, there've been sightings of Long-billed Curlew in South Haven, MI and Black-bellied Whistling-Duck in Ontario. And apparently Goose Pond in Indiana has been getting good numbers of shorebirds, including Black-necked Stilts.
