Greetings... A Black-necked Stilt was a nice surprise this morning at
the Ellis Lake Wetlands in West Chester, Butler County. There are some
skypools in the farm fields near the bike trail parking lot off of
Firebird Lane along Union Center Blvd. 'Round about noon the pools
held 1 male Black-necked Stilt, 5+ Killdeer, 2 Semipalmated Plovers,
~30 Lesser Yellowlegs, 3 Greater Yellowlegs, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, 2
Dunlin, 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, and other birds I no doubt missed.

The stilt flew from pool to pool before ending up among the dead
cattail stalks on the edge of the dike that heads out roughly north
from the parking area.

The skypools probably won't last more than a couple more days without some rain.

Take care,
---Mike Busam
Butler County, OH
