I arrived at Conneaut shortly before 8am, to find a single American Avocet on the beach near the pit. Twenty Short-billed Dowitchers along with a few Lesser Yellowlegs kept an eye on two juvenile Bald Eagles nearby. The avocet was in the same spot when I left around noon. http://tinyurl.com/chcy6v Laura Keene Mason, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
