Just got a call from Mark Vass, who plans to bird at Conneaut for a while. He reports rain has replenished the pool where shorebirds were congregating, and that an avocet and four Baird's sandpipers have showed up; more birds are expected. No buff-breasted SPs yet, but there is some foraging habitat.
