Before looking for shorebirds at Willow Point WA, I looked around for any
sign of waterfowlers given it's peak teal season. The place appeared to
be vacant, so I ventured in. I was happy to find the continuing American
Avocet in the impound to the east of the Fish Work Unit. This unit has
been productive for shorebirds since about mid-August. However, access to
certain Wildlife Areas in Sandusky and Erie counties is tenuous right now
during teal season, but since I've seen endorsements of shorebirding at
these sites on the ODNR website (

8 - 10 a.m.

Got a late evening report of a buff-breasted sandpiper at the north end of
the lake yesterday and decided to see if it was still around.  It was and
we had great views of it with the scope.  We were also treated to a merlin
that landed in a tree about 100 ft. away--not very far with a 20x-60x
fluorite  lens scope!

At the south end of the lake, we observed 2 immature and 1 adult bald
eagles.  Watched the immature chase and just about catch a DC  cormorant.  Lots
of activity at the park today.  Received a call that  the South Park was
crawling with warblers in the walnut trees.

Other sightings for this morning included:

Great egrets - 22
Great blue herons - many, many
Green-winged teals
Mallards
DC cormorants
Killdeers
Northern flickers
Broad-winged hawk
Red-tailed hawk
Cooper's hawk

All of the shorebirds had disappeared except for one buff-breasted sp and a
 couple of hundred killdeer.
