Conneaut is a small harbor town on the shores of lake Erie near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.
It has a spit of land that is used by water sports enthusiast but for birders and bird photographers it is well known for shorebirds during the spring and fall migrations. The most interesting bird images taken there are gotten using a "low down and dirty method". This technique gives bird's eye level photographs with beautiful backgrounds. Images taken this way seem to put the viewer in the flock as a member of it. The only problem for the photographer is that it requires crawling through the mud pushing expensive equipment in front of you. A bath in Lake Erie usually follows photo sessions.
