This email is from yesterday, July 15th. My emails to Ohio-birds bounced yesterday. Gabe Leidy, Mo Bacik and I had a sharp adult American Avocet, nearly 50 Short-billed Dowitcher, at least 10 Stilt Sandpipers, nearly 40 Least Sandpipers, 80+ Killdeer and a single Pectoral Sandpiper at the Huron River where Route 2 crosses. It is very tricky to view this habitat, which is extensive. You cannot view from the bridge. You must go into town (Huron) and catch River Road south past the Route 2 bridge and park carefully along the roadside at different locations to view the flats. You must also get up on top of the railroad tracks to view. SCOPES are necessary as birds are distant.
