Late Saturday morning, I drove to several areas SE of Wooster to see
if any shorebirds were about. At the Funk observation platform, there
were two solitary and two spotted sandpipers along the shore of the
pond, plus the usual great blue herons and Canada geese. In the ponds
along Wilderness Rd there were a group of at least 20 killdeers, one
solitary sandpiper and a peep I did not see well, plus lots of geese
and great blue herons and several cormorants. An immature bald eagle
was perched on one island. I then drove over to the Killbuck WA and
along Valley Rd. and east on Clark Rd. Just as Helen Ostermiller
reported yesterday, I saw three solitary, one spotted and two least
sandpipers foraging on the algal mat easily visible from Clark Rd. In
addition, I saw one common egret, two eastern kingbirds and several
redwings. I heard common yellowthroat and white-eyed vireo along
Valley Rd. Randy Rowe
