Although the Whimbrels were still there when I arrived around 4:00, they 
were flushed by two paddle-boarders around 6:00, and another birder and I 
were unable to relocate them.  They headed west, upriver.  The beach area 
was very busy.  Columbus area birders - keep a sharp eye out for these 
birds.  They could be anywhere.  I counted 29.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Over 2 dozen Whibrels at Dillon State Park in 
Muskingum County.

Almost 30 Whibrels​ flew in to Dillon State Park Beach around 12:45 pm 
today. They almost landed on beach, but didn't because of people. They 
landed on logs in water at far north end of lake viewed from Beach area. 
Scope is a must. Long range picture will be posted to Birding Ohio Facebook 
later tonight.
