I drove out to Pickeral Creek WA hoping for some good shorebirds. Bad idea.
The promising looking area of 3 weeks ago is now under water. There was no
shorebird activity, or habitat. There were some good birds though including
8 Bald eagles and a dozen Caspian Terns.
After all that excitement, I drove back to Sandy Ridge in Lorain County.
Much better
Great Egrets 18
Gr Blue Herons many
Green Herons 13
Bald Eagles 3
Wood Ducks many
Blue-winged Teal 12
Killdeer
Black-bellied Plover 3
Pectoral Sandpiper 20
Spotted Sandpiper 3
Solitary Sandpiper 3
Least Sandpiper 20-30
Semi-palmated SP 10
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Short-billed Dowitchers 4
Also, N. Mockingbird, Red-headed Woodpecker, Kingfishers, Swamp Sparrows,
and a lot of Song Sparrows.
It was nice to do some birding back in Ohio, despite the rain, after
enduring a week of birding on the New Brunswick & Maine coast ;>)
See you on the trails,
