We visited the sandspit area today from 2:30 to 3:30 PM.
It was extremely windy with very rough conditions. Waves were lapping high over the breakwall! 
     Note: You are at great risk of getting stuck on the way in, and out in soft wind blown sand; between the breakwall and the sandspit.
     Here are the birding highlights:
 
Great Egret     1
Green-winged Teal     3
American/Eurasion Widgeon hybrid (1 male) ?
Greater Scaup     1 female (Our old friend?)
American Coot     2
Semi-palmated Plover     5
Black-bellied Plover     1
Golden-Plover     2
Greater Yellowlegs     2
Sanderling     4
Pectoral Sandpiper     1
Black Tern     1 (Still with lots of black)
Caspian Tern     4
 
                       Bob and Denise Lane
 
     Note: We are presently on our way home to Mahoning County to see the Glossy Ibises.
