A surprisingly nice morning to be at Conneaut. Not much disruption from dogs, beach goers, swimmers, and four wheelers. Highlights were the cooperative Red Knot, a large (est 18 -22) flock of Avocets which didn't stay long, a Willet which did, and a few Baird's SP, Stilts, Sanderlings, and a Sora. A Black-bellied Plover was also reported, but not seen by all.
