A quick check of the Findlay Reservoir #1 this afternoon turned up an unexpected 32 Ruddy Turnstones and a adult Laughing Gull.
The majority of the turnstones were in striking breeding plumage, in my opinion one of the best looking shorebirds that can be seen in Ohio!
Other sightings include:
Wood Duck 4
Common Loon 1
Great Blue Heron 5
Killdeer 8
Spotted Sandpiper 6
Ruddy Turnstone 32
Laughing Gull 1 nice breeding plumage adult
Bonaparte's Gull 2
Ring Billed Gull 103
Herring Gull 17
Purple Martin 4
