It was another very windy day at Conneaut.  L. Erie has looked like an angry sea my last 2 visits there.  The east end of the spit is like a sandblaster at times.  On the bright side, lots of organic debris is washing up on the shore, and the shorebirds are liking that.  There were a lot of gulls on the spit again today.  The main pool has been refilled since Saturday and is attracting shorebirds again.  Highlights today were: pied-billed grebes, 30 double-crested cormorants, ad. black-crowned night-heron, bald eagles, 2 black-bellied plovers, 10 Am. golden-plovers (first juv.), semipalmated plovers, killdeer, lesser yellowlegs, 5 ruddy turnstones, red knot, 6 sanderlings, semipalmated sandpipers, least sandpipers, 3 Baird's sandpipers, pectoral sandpiper (first juv.), 2 buff-breasted sandpipers, Bonaparte's gulls, 2 lesser black-backed gulls (second cycle and fourth cycle birds), great black-backed gull, and 11 Caspian terns.  Craig Holt,
