Thanks to Bob and Denise Lane (see below) for identifying where the Stilt
was today. I happened to be making a call in Sandusky and was only about 15
minutes away. I took some pictures at a long distance off a tripod

If you go after this bird and it is in the same location tomorrow you would
do well to bring a spotting scope. It was hard to find with binoculars but
not impossible. A scope lets you enjoy watching it.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Black-necked Stilt / Ohio Nemesis Success
My wife Denise and I have birded together for over forty years. One of our
Ohio nemesis birds has been the Black-necked Stilt, but no more!!! It is
presently 12:40PM Friday afternnoon, and finally our pursuit has been
rewarded. The previously reported Black-necked Stilt is in our scope view,
becoming Ohio Life Bird #348 for us. The bird is located in the northeast
corner of Sandusky County, just west of Pickerel Creek WA, and north of US6,
on CR232 (Coonrod Road). Follow CR232 north past the hard left turn until
you see a pastel colored green barn ahead on the right. Park at the first
gate, walk to the right on the dike, and scan to the right of the barn in
the flooded wetlands. The brown backed Black-necked Stilt is with numerous
Northen Shovelers.
