I realize that this does not meet the criteria of matter on
Ohio-Birds, however, it seems to be the sole source for getting this
information out to the birding community.

On Friday, long-time Toledo birder and one of Ohio's top shorebird
specialists, John Szanto, passed away.  John had not been well for
several months.  John and his close friend, Mike Bolton of Columbus
had for over 20 years conducted regular shorebirds surveys throughout
northwest Ohio.  They were responsible for finding and documenting
many unusual and uncommon shorebirds and other species of birds.  John
will be missed.

His obituary is at:
