Emil and Bacik and I birded Pipe and Pickerel Creek WA, today (Erie/Sandusky
Co). I had not seen Bruce Simpson's post of yesterday, so we were pleasantly
surprised to encounter an ad MARBLED GODWIT and three WILLETS at Pipe. At
Pickerel, there are a good number of shorebirds in the drawndown pond across
from the fringed orchid field, along the first road west of the observation
platform, and north of the observation platform itself. Though we didn't have
time, I watched four Lesser Yellowlegs from a distance apparently put down in
the impoundment north of the woodlot, so it's possible both areas will serve up
some excellent shorebirding again this year!
