The Arctic Tern was easily found and observed at 6:30 p.m. this evening, the 11th, on the beach at Maumee Bay State Park. Many thanks to Kenn, and also to Greg for getting word out quickly via the listservs. A great bird. A few photos are up on my blog, giving the viewer a realistic semi-distant view of the bird (with good comparison of surrounding species)as it rested amidst the large grouping of Common, Forster's, and Caspian Terns, and Herring, Ring-billed, and Bonaparte's Gulls.

I couldn't find the possible Western Sandpiper at Pickerington Ponds Blue Wing Pond or the Stilt Sandpipers, so perhaps they have left the "building". There were numerous shorebirds there including a nice look at a Wilson's Snipe, Short-billed Dowitcher juv., Pectorals, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpipers, Solitary Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpiper (2 adult 1 juv), and many adult Least Sandpipers with a couple juv. in there too, also Semipalm. Plovers. Still a good time and things are always on the move, who knows what we'll see tomorrow?

Good birding,
