Three avocets were present throughout the morning at Lorain (still there when I left at 11:30), but the highlight were TWO WHIMBRELS which arrived around the same time, circled the impoundment widely while calling for several minutes, and then departed to the east.  Chris Pierece was also on hand to enjoy these birds.
 
Good number of total shorebirds inc. a single Stilt Sandpiper, and a nice-sized flock of peeps.
 
Good birding -
