I just had a call from Jeff Harvey who is at the Conneaut Sandspit, it is presently 8:30AM. Since his arrival at 7:30AM he has been watching two American Avocets in breeding plumage plus a Willet. The only other shorebirds are Least Sandpipers and Killdeer. Unbelievably he has not had any other visitors at the Sandspit.
