Scott and all interested. The cooperative Purple Sandpiper reported yesterday at Conneaut was located where the sandy flats meet the breakwater at the corner where you must turn sharply to the right if you want to drive toward the new observation platform. Many observers enjoyed close views and captured remarkable images of the bird yesterday. Late in the afternoon, Craig Holt said he observed the bird leave the area. It may be worthwhile to spend time scanning the breakwaters at Conneaut. Chances are the bird still is present. Another PUSA may still be present at Ashtabula. Go to Lake Shore Park and scan the distant breakwater to the east of the park. Many observers saw this distant bird yesterday. Both locations may require patient careful scanning along the waterline of breakwaters with a scope to relocate the birds. Check out any plump lumps sitting atop rip rap for resting birds.

Didn't find it as obvioius as expected.
