Hello Ohio Birders,

Three Sandhill Cranes showed up at 5 pm today at the traditional spot near the upper end of Deer Creek Reservoir, Fayette & Pickaway Counties.  (Other than that there was not much of note beyond an impressive number of Killdeer - 50 or more.)

Happy birding,

Dave Horn
Columbus

(To access the "traditional spot," from S.R. 207 south of Pancoastburg, turn toward the reservoir at the Fayette-Pickaway county line sign (a continuation of Miller Rd. which is marked westbound but not eastbound).  Proceed to the shore where there is parking and a picnic area.  The cranes usually approach from upstream and glide in a majestic u-turn onto the mudflats.  Today there were several Great Blue Herons strategically situated for comparison.)
