Perfect habitat, and no doubt part of their blitzkrieg takeover style. If you're out in western Ohio, let us know when you see more of them. Just six months ago, the only record we had was a bird shot by a hunter in Crawford Co. Bill Whan Columbus p.s.

This morning I got an early start to try to beat the heat and humidity. It
was mostly a work session to collect my marker ribbons from the Prothonotary
Warbler nesting season. The conditions became intolerable quickly (in the old
days I wouldn't care, but ever since I joined the zipper club 7 years ago my
cardiologist has given me a new set of rules. Why tempt fate?) I was out only
an hour and a half. I worked the peninsulas on the north side of Big Walnut
Road across from the Mudhen Marsh parking lot. It seems every little cove had
mudflats and shorebirds. Shorebird species present this morning include:
Killdeer
Semipalmated Plover
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Stilt Sandpiper
Other species of interest observed:
Green Heron
Osprey
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-headed Woodpecker
Charlie Bombaci
Hoover Nature Preserve
Delorme 58 C (2) & (3)
