| From: | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 26 Oct 2008 18:50:40 -0700471_iso-8859-1 Greetings---I just finished watching (twice) the broadcast of this week's "Nature" show on PBS, featuring breeding birds and mammals of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic. These birds include some of Ohio's rarest visitors, including gyrfalcon, king eider, long-tailed jaeger (skua), snowy owl, and Baird's sandpiper. This is a remarkable film with some extraordinary footage; if you didn't see it tonight, be sure to catch a rerun!! Cheers, Craig44_26Oct200818:50: [log in to unmask] |

Hello!
I just returned from Englewood Metro Park where I observed the Long-Billed
Dowitcher at the previously reported location. I arrived at about 12:30 PM
and immediately saw the LBDO actively feeding along the far shore of the
shrinking lake. I observed it from three other vantage points and when I left at
about 1:15 PM, it had just tucked itself in for a one-legged afternoon siesta.
Just reading Ed and Bev's posting on not seeing it this morning just
confirms the adage that timing (and sometimes luck) is everything.
