In mid morning there were also a Caspia nTern and 3 Great Egrets.
With my binocs I could only recognize the Killdeer and Yellowlegs. But
there were a number of smaller birds, some of them peeps.
Re the meadow: there is probably a reason that has remained a meadow,
with only a few shrubs. One reason could be a very shallow soil over some
beadrock which is an environment which has allowed prairie remnants to
exist in some places.
- a Nighthawk is buzzing outside my window, which faces Grant Hospital.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Whittier-Scioto Park,8-18
The Whittier peninsula in the new Scioto Park continues to be a shorebird
magnet. Water level was low enough to expose much of the mud bar in the
river here, and it had attracted a nice assortment of waterbirds. No
avocets, which were seen earlier in the week, but still found
3 Great Blue Herons
3 Green Herons
2 Great Egrets
1 Black-cr.Night Heron
10 Kildeer
4 Solitary Spr
3 Lesser Yellowlegs
20 Semipalmated Spr
30 Least Spr
1 Herring Gull
15 Ring-billed Gulls
10 Cormorants
Landbirds weren' nearly as interesting, but there were a few Baltimore
Orioles along the bikepath, and some Chimney swifts and Barn swallows
overhead. The park has planted trees in the old meadow along the
bikepath, which is not a bad idea, but they're all starting to die from
lack of watering/care.
