Hi,
Thursday we visited the black-necked stilts. The nesting pair were off TR 
80 S of County line rd. They were together on the nest by the rock on the 
hill across the pond. Line up with the telephone pole and it's almost 
straight across, slightly rt. Another birder, Bob Sams from Findlay I 
think, had seen them mating just previously and pointed them out to me. 
There's a nice flock of ruddies in the pond, too.

Another pair were much closer to the road on County Line road, visible 
from up on the rise east of TR 80 just between two houses. Doreen from 
Columbus directed us there. There is wetland there, full of egrets, and 
the stilts were feeding very close to the edge of the water closest to the 
road. I have fuzzy pics if interested. 

County line road is off 18 just SW of Bellvue after 2 sets of railroad 
tracks. Thanks to the birders who helped us locate them!
