Anecdotally, lots of nice shorebird activity recently at Presque Isle State Park. Best locations: Beach 11 & Gull Point, also Leo’s Landing, and other outer beaches. ‘Songbird’ migration so far fairly muted and/or in ‘negative space,’ e.g., a few weeks ago there were dozens of Yellow Warbler all over, now it’s dropped way off.

Common Yellowthroat are around all summer, but sightings can be erratic. Here’s a recent female at Leo’s Landing:
