Hey all -

Mo Bacik and I enjoyed leisurely surveys of Pipe Creek (Erie Co.) and Pickerel 
Creek (Sandusky Co.) Wildlife Areas, today.  Pipe Creek's Unit C continues as 
the hot spot, hosting a pair of AMERICAN AVOCETS as the highlight.  A flyby 
LAUGHING GULL on the bay was also a treat here, and Snowy Egret numbers 
have risen to 13.  We made an effort for the Yellow-headed Blackbird, but no 
luck.  At Pickerel, high water continues to plague most of the impoundments that 
were oh so productive a mere two weeks ago.  Hard to say after the hard rains 
whether these units will be able to return to their low levels without human 
intervention.  There was slight improvement, however, and the pond across from 
the orchid field on CR 256 contained 39 dowitchers and a similar number of 
yellowlegs.  A young LITTLE BLUE HERON was found in the lowered impoundment 
along CR 259, just east of Green Creek.

Good birding -
