I was at Conneaut today from noon till 3:30
The outer spit was flooded with over half of it under water
I had nine species of shorebirds with the highlight being a single Whimbrel that flew in calling and landing on the spit
The bird ended up moving over to the nearby brakewall before disappearing after an hour or so
