TRICOLORED HERON: A bird found by Jen Brumfield on the 24th in the Medusa Marsh area of Erie County, northeast of the intersection of OH 2 and OH 269 continued at least through the 2nd.
WOOD STORK: One of only a handful of Ohio records and the first to be "chasable", three juveniles were continuing at their Coshocton County location through the 3rd. Bruce Glick provided these directions: "Old DeLorme Page 61 5C. From U.S. Route 36 east of Coshocton, take State Route 93 south through West Lafayette and Plainfield. Stay on route 93 south, passing the Y where SR Rt. 541 goes off to the southeast, and after another 1-2 miles, just after a mowed hayfield on the right, take C.R. 145 to the right (west) for approx. .5 -.7 miles - to a small V-shaped pond, just after a bridge over a creek. The pond is right beside the gravel road on the right side and recent cuttings of branches (power company) are on the ground by the road."
Upland Sandpiper: On the 2nd, Tom Kemp reported that they were present in southwestern Wood County on the south side of Mermill Road between Potter and Rangeline Roads.

The previously reported bird at the Twin Lakes area of O'Shaughnessy Nature Preserve, Franklin County, (off Dublin Road just north of the town of Shawnee Hills) continued through the 4th.
