I got to Conneaut this afternoon around 12:00 and was immediately shown the piping plover by Robert Krajeski and Mark Vass. The bird stayed near the east end of the shorebird pond on the mudflat for a little bit then flew to the west. It was relocated by Mark Vass along one of the grassy wetlands on the western half of the mudflat. It remained here until someone came to saw up some of the driftwood. It flew back to its original location before taking off again. We were unable to relocate it after that. It was last seen around 1:00-1:15. There is a lot of habitat there so it may still be around. A photo of the plover can be found at: http://www.rarebird.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5682&PID=17079#17079 Also present at Conneaut were black-bellied plover (1), semiplamated plover (2), PIPING PLOVER (1), Killdeer (3), greater yellowlegs (1), lesser yellowlegs (2), solitary sandpiper (2), and dunlin (8-9). Also found were 1 blue-winged teal, 7 great egrets, 2 black-crowned night-herons, 6 bald eagles, 1 great black-backed gull, numerous herring, ring-billed, and Bonaparte's gulls, 6 Caspian tern and 1 Common tern. The breeding plumaged Lapland longspur departed soon after I arrived.
