The highlight at Lorain Impoundment at mid-morning, was a cooperative RED-NECKED PHALAROPE.  Photos can be seen here, of the phalarope and some Coliseum-site sparrows: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28939750@N05/

Other shorebirds at Lorain were scarce: Black-bellied Plover 1, Semipalmated Plover 26, Lesser Yellowlegs 1, Semi Sandpiper 2, Least Sandpiper 1, Pectoral Sandpiper 1, and Short-billed Dowitcher 1.  Eleven warbler sp, both kinglets, and 13 Soras were also present.

I visited the Coliseum site earlier...no sharp-taileds today.  One Henslow's Sparrow was the highlight, and single Solitary Sandpiper, woodcock, and snipe were also present.

Good birding -
