I stopped briefly at the impoundment on the east side of Lorain Harbor yesterday (7/14). There were a few shorebirds there with the best being 2 American avocets and a willet. The willet was a flyby. Also present were 1- semipalmated plover, 4- killdeer, 6- spotted sandpipers, 1- greater yellowlegs, 4- lest sandpipers, and 2- semipalmated sandpipers. Its worth a stop if you are looking for shorebirds. If you are coming from the west the Rte 6 bridge over the Black River is closed so you either have to take the Henderson Bridge via the Broadway detour or you can take Rte 2 to Rte 611 and come the back way.
