I had a Red Knot at the inland beach at Maumee Bay State Park east of Toledo this morning, Sept. 3. Also present were a Sanderling, 2 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 2 Least Sandpipers, 2 Semipalmated Plovers, and some Killdeer. Last Thursday, I had an American Avocet at this same spot (I didn't report this bird at the time because no sooner had I spotted it amidst the gulls and terns on the beach than it rose up and flew high off to the south). This seems to be a good spot to keep an eye on for unusual shorebirds.
