An unmistakable profile of a brown pelican startled me in my drive-by birding. I only saw the one, perhaps there were more...42_6Oct201121:01: [log in to unmask] |

Lo and behold there is some water in the "lake" at the Englewood Main
Metropark. Today we've seen some of the first shorebirds in nearly two years!
There is some open water, but most of the shorebirds are in the low-growth
weedy areas in the water. Some were very close to the parking lot
overlooking the small half-acre size puddle. Below is our count, but there appear
to be a lot more in the "weeds" that were just a little too tall for clear
views.
Solitary sp - 7
Spotted sp - 4
Lesser yellowlegs - 5
Greater yellowlegs - 3
Killdeer - many, many
Happy birding,
Ed and Bev Neubauer
Englewood, Ohio
