LITTLE STINT at Conneaut 8/19/09. View them at http://www.nortonwi.com/RareOhioBird/ and decide for yourselves. I've heard and read a lot of "stuff" about this bird already, especially on rarebird.org. All of the "stuff" was based on average-quality (at best) photos which I didn't take or post or vouch for. Also I find it very odd that people who didn't see the actual bird, or hear it, or note the structure (especially the long legs), or study the VERY DISTINCTIVE FEEDING BEHAVIOR, etc. [...]44_21Aug200918:31: [log in to unmask] |

Still lots of shorebirds. Mudflats drying up quickly, but we're supposed
to have rain this weekend. Hopefully, the weatherman will be correct for a
change. Sightings were from the far south end at the "disc golf"
overlook, the paved parking lot, and the far north end.
