i discovered a long-tailed duck on the beach of the nature preserve at headlands beach state park this morning (08/25/2008). emil bacik also observed the bird which swam out into the water. emil and i were distracted by some semipalmated sandpipers and the duck got away from us. i believe that this sighting may have been the first summer record of this species in ohio - it has never been recorded (as far as i know) from the headlands area in any summer month. other interesting birds in the headlands area were an olive-sided flycatcher and blue-winged warbler (among 11 species of warblers) at mentor lagoons. the american avocet, found on 08/24/2008 at headlands beach, was not relocated today.
