Sensing that wetlands might be a good stopover for the increasing numbers of migrant shorebirds, I stopped by these n.Pickaway County wetlands yesterday morning. Water levels were too high for any significant mudflats, but there were some interesting things around nonetheless, including: Wood Ducks - 6-8 Blue-winged Teal - 3 pairs Ring-necked Duck - 1 female Black Swan - unafraid, an obvious escapee SORA - at least 2 along the main wetland trail, with 1 calling and 1 flushing from the wet edge. Kildeer - 1-2 Gr.Yellowlegs - 4-5 Spotted Sandpiper - 1 pair Wilson's Snipe - 2 E.Kingbird - 1 (FOS for me) Swallows - loads of Tree swallows, a few Rough-wings and Barns ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
