I've looked at John Pognacik's photos, some of which appear to show a stint.. Heather's images do not appear to show the same bird. Her bird has very short blunt-tipped bill, while at least a couple of his images show a bird with much more rufous in the plumage and slightly longer and more attenuated bill.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Conneaut- Possible Stint Pics From This MORNING
To: [log in to unmask]

Hi,

I was at Conneaut from ~9-12 this morning and at one point someone thought they saw the stint.  Much excitement ensued with lots of people looking at lots of peeps.  I saw one bird that appeared to match field marks mentioned previously and lacked webbing on the feet.  I know that Rob Lowry also felt this bird did not have webbing.  The problem was there were several bright juvi. semipalms mixed in with the peeps and I think not everyone was looking at the same bird when they proclaimed they all had webbing.  After looking at a few pics I shot, I think the bird I photographed MAY have been the stint.  Please take a look at the pics and let me know what you think.  I'm sure a lot of the morning birders would like to add it to their Ohio lists!

I posted the best pic here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32395&id=1396450923&saved#/album.php?aid=32395&id=1396450923
I have a few other shots but they are rather blurry (still getting used to digiscoping).  Anyone else get pics of the bird this morning?

Take care,
Heather
