SPECIES IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE REVIEW-LIST SPECIES. Details of
these sightings are desired by The Ohio Bird Records Committee. Careful
observation, not ornithological expertise, is the only qualification
for submitting your data. For details and pointers see:
http://www.ohiobirds.org/records/documentation.php

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron: Reported from the Preston Road, Columbus,
nest site on the 30th.

MISSISSIPPI KITE: On the 28th, Jay Lehman saw a subadult kite at the
Brass Ring Golf Course, Logan. Glen Crippen passed along word that a
single kite was  seen soaring near the ranger office near the entrance
to the lodge at Burr Oak Lake State Park, Morgan County, on the 29th.

BLACK-NECKED STILT: Two pairs remain in the pond along the east side of
TR 80 in Seneca County, just south of Seneca County Line Road (CR 113)
and north of C34 near Bellevue. Apparently there is a nest behind the
pond on a grassy berm near a large rock.

American Avocet: Chris Pierce located one at Pickerel Creek Wildlife
Area in the impoundment near the pumphouse on the 29th. It remained on
the 3rd. Bob Sams found one on the dike between the Findlay Reservoirs,
Hancock County, on the 3rd.

Whimbrel: Bill Whan saw one fly over Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area on
the 3rd.

Bell's Vireo: The OSU west campus birds, located just west of the
Carmack Road, No. 5 parking lot, were reported most recently on the
30th.

Clay-colored Sparrow: The Oak Openings MetroPark bird seems to have
relocated by the 29th to the east side of Girdham Road, about 150 yards
south of the bike trail near the south end of the fence that runs along
the road. There have been no reports - positive or negative  - since
the 29th.

Western Meadowlark: The resident bird at Range Line and Cygnet Roads
west of Cygnet, Wood County, was noted by Dave Slager on the 28th.
