Just a side note.  I stopped by the area the other week.  Since it was
about lunch time, I tried to find some place to go in the little Village
of Galena.  I went into the "Mudflats Bar and Grill", mostly because of
the name.  :o)

It was not what I expected from a "Bar and Grill".  It has a very clean
and comfortable dining room and the food was plentiful and delicious.
Because I was a vegetarian, the owner even said she could have something
made up special just for me - though there were also some vegetarian
options on the menu.  It was a very pleasant experience.

I just thought I would let you know, because I know a lot of you travel
a far distance to see the shorebirds and it is nice to have a place
close by to stop for a bite to eat.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Hoover Reservoir 7/20

I checked out the east shore of Hoover Reservoir yesterday for
shorebirds.
It's really shaping up nicely at this point, as there is a lot of
exposed
mud.  There wasn't anything spectacular, but the numbers seemed pretty
good.  There were 9 shorebird species in total.

Killdeer - 220
Least Sandpiper - 40
Semipalmated Sandpiper - 8
Semipalmated Plover - 1
Solitary Sandpiper - 6
Spotted Sandpiper - 29
Lesser Yellowlegs - 41
Greater Yellowlegs - 1
Pectoral Sandpiper - 6

Caspian Tern - 8

Good birding,

John
