Last night I arrived at the beach at Caesar Creek State Park between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. the Willet reported by Larry Gara on Monday morning was still present. Also present until I left at about 7:30 - 7:45 pm were one Black-bellied Plover (breeding plumage), 3 Least Sandpipers, and one Dunlin close to but not in complete breeding plumage. This is a good assortment of shorebirds given the limited habitat available right now for migrating shorebirds here in southwest Ohio. I arrived at Voice of American Park on Tylersville and Cox Roads at about 8:00 - 8:15 pm west of Mason and just off I75. There were many Bobolinks present, about 15 or so, one Savannah Sparrow, and one or two signing Henslow's Sparrows. The bird activity was in spite of two ultra light flying machines that were making unbelievably loud noise and were buzzing the best Henslow's and Bobolink breeding area, the high meadow. I met John Dunn, the well known ornithologist and Wings Field Leader and former resident of Ohio there. He was scouting in advance of an Ohio trip that he is leading right now. Jay Jay G.
