Not to be outdone by the birds at Lowe's in Bedford - now up to a
yellowlegs and maybe a couple of western sandpipers, a brief sunset
visit to Home Depot's catchment basin on Aurora Road on the border of
Solon and Bainbridge turned up several Killdeers, a mid/small sized
shorebird (possibly a Solitary, but too dark to tell) and several peeps
of the Least or Western size variety. Perhaps another SE Cuyahoga County
birder will take up the chase and check these guys out tomorrow. The
basin is the first one adjacent to the contractor entrance to Hope
Depot, on the north side of the building. There were 3 other ponds
further north, but all appeared too deep for waders. The Mallards seemed
to be enjoying them, however, and curious by their absence were the
usual gaggle of Canadas often see along Aurora Road.

Cheers... Bob
