Ben Warner and I birded Pickerington Ponds, Chatterton Wetlands, and
Scioto Audubon Metro Park this morning.
Pickerington Ponds has excellent shorebird habitat. Highlights were
12 Least Sandpiper, a Short-billed Dowitcher, and a Sedge Wren.
Chatterton Wetlands also has excellent shorebird habitat. Highlights
included 15 Least Sandpiper, a Ring-necked Pheasant, and a
Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Scioto Audubon Metro Park has a tiny bit of habitat but if the water
level drops it should get better. 1 Solitary Sandpiper was present.
Full eBird checklists below.
