Piping Plover at Conneaut 7/26

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   An adult female piping plover was at Conneaut Harbor this afternoon.  The bird was found by Robert Krajeski.  We were able to watch the bird at close range for quite a while.  The bird had color bands on its legs.  I will post a photo later today.

The bird was still present when I left at 11:45, however thunderstorms were moving into the area.  Also present was an American avocet.  Other shorebirds seen this morning were semipalmated plover, killdeer, lesser yellowlegs, semipalmated sandpiper, least sandpiper, and sanderling.  I have sent in the color band combinatioon and will post an update on where it is from.
