Was at Bresler last evening and this morning. Had 2 Osprey there last evening and also can see that the new resevoir is going to be a draw for shorebirds. Had solitary sanpipers and a lesser yellowlegs there and there were 9 other large yellowleg type birds feeding out there in the standing water from the last rains. These brids I don't think were yellowlegs as they had dark wings and back and their breast was black part way down and the belly white.Long bill. It was a good distance out there where they were and I just couldn't make a definitive ID. Also many Kildeer . Talked to a man working there and he said they are supposed to be done with it Dec 31. so it is gonna be a neat place to watch in the coming months. There is to be a wetland off the SW corner. I am excited. As for this morning a single Immature Bald Eagle came in and got a fish and that was it for the fishing birds for then. There have been 2-3 spotted sandpipers around the rocks of Bresler in different spots so number wise not sure jsut how many are there. A single cormorant swam by also. I have been talking to the city about installing an Osprey nesting platform and also making a viewing paltform ove rin the wetland area. So far it looks positive for these two things happening . I sure hope . Russell Lilma, Ohio
