The piping plovers were still there when I left at 10:45am.  One was hanging around on the middle spit the entire hour I was there.  Several birders came and went, including the head of the Lorain Port, who said he and his wife are birders.  He also said that they're trying to put in a nature center by the impoundment, get rid of the invasives, and expand the mudflat habitat for the shorebirds.

Thanks, Chris, for letting us know it was a SB dowitcher.  The several of us that were there took our eyes off of the piping plovers for too long trying to figure out SB vs LB.  Laura(?), who said she was more of a Florida birder, pointed out a willet, too.

The 2 Piping Plovers were observed by myself and Nan Miller this morning 
between 7:15 and 8:00 am. 
 
Also seen were a Semi-palmated Plover and Least & SemiPalm SP's, SB 
Dows, a single White-rumped SP and a few Yellowlegs. 
 
A curious looking duck was observed on the north side. It was small, 
dark gray/black, with a white spot on the breast. The bill was 
black and looked like the bill of a teal. It was only observed for a few 
seconds (in the scope) before it went into the weeds. 
 
See you on the trails,
