The hayfield along County Road 80 has been cut and so viewing the wetlands is much better. However, vegetation on the eastside of the wetlands is dense and tall. All 4 adult birds have been together the last 2 days feeding and calling. These have been the best views I have had to date. It appears that there are no young birds around and if nesting was attempted, it failed. Many of the flooded fields are starting to really dry up. However, those that have water, are filling up with ducks and shorebirds. The flooded field on CR 34 had 4-500 shorebirds yesterday. Most were Killdeer and Semipalmated Plover, Least, Semipalmated, Solitary, Stilt, and Pectoral Sandpipers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs. It was similar on Sanduky County road 292.
