This is the Ohio Rare Bird Report for August 08, 2008.
 Compiler:Brad Sparks. Email:[log in to unmask]

This is a summary of noteworthy birds reported from
Ohio in the previous week or so. Reports have been
gleaned by the compiler from various internet sources,
particularly Ohio-birds, The Ohio Birding Forum, the
RareBird.org forums, Cincinnati Bird Sightings Log,
Southwestern Ohio (Dayton) Rare Bird Alert, and from
some individual observers who kindly share their
knowledge. Questions, comments, complaints and
additional noteworthy sightings not posted to one of
the above may be sent to the
compiler.

Review List Species. (Review list species are
sufficiently rare that details of any sighting can
help increase our understanding of Ohio's bird life.
Suggestions and guidelines for submitting
documentation of review list birds can be found at the
OOS website (www.ohiobirds.org).

BLACK NECKED STILTS: Delores Cole and others found the
Sandusky County birds at the flooded area of TR-292 on
8/2.  It has been a privilege to have these birds
around all summer.


SPRAGUES’S PIPIT: On 8/2 Dan Sanders and Doreene
Linzell found a probable bird near a flooded area of
South Ridge Rd (#175).  This is SE of Clyde in
Sandusky County. 

Highlights:

Willet: A single bird was found by Mark Vass on 8/7 at
Conneaut Harbor.

Upland Sandpiper: Su Snyder and friends were able to
find two birds at the Mansfield Airport.  They
reported that a good viewing area is the parking lot
to the left of the Flyboy’s Restaurant.  Any small
airport should probably be checked for the presence of
this species.

Whimbrel:  Mark Vass reports that two birds were
present at Conneaut Harbor on 8/3.

Marbled Godwit:  One bird was present at Conneaut
Harbor on 8/3 & 8/7, reported by Mark Vass.  It would
be interesting to know if this was the same bird on
both days.

Wilson’ Phalarope:  Four of these spectacular
shorebirds were present at the flooded area of TR-292
in Sandusky county on 8/2.  They were reported by
Delores Cole and company.
