Hi: I birded Wright Marsh in Wayne Co., off 226 towards Shreve, about 10am
this morning to see the three white-faced ibis that have been reported for
the past several days. They were there, right in the middle of the largest
impoundment. The location has been described by Bruce Glick in several
recent posts. I saw them very well in pretty good light. Certainly a good
sighting for Ohio. There were also other shorebirds around at various
locations at Wright Marsh. Lots of yellowlegs (both species), several
solitary sandpipers and a few spotted sandpipers were evident. Just south
of the big power tower, there was a single stilt sandpiper feeding with the
yellowlegs. There is a small, wet woods along the trail that leads to the
big impoundments. I heard, and then saw, a northern waterthrush, plus a
rose-breasted grosbeak, a female Baltimore oriole, and the normal yellow
and yellowthroat warblers. Across the street at the Shreve fishpond, there
were some dunlins and 3-4 least sandpipers, along with killdeer. Randy
