After yet another failed attempt (attempt #6) to turn up an American Avocet at Conneaut (though we did see 2 Baird's Sandpipers), I and a friend decided to stop by Mosquito Creek WA in Trumbull on the way home. This was a good decision ; ) The shorebird habitat there is vast, with hundreds of birds visible from Hoagland-Blackstub Rd. The highlight was by far one MARBLED GODWIT feeding amongst the numerous yellowlegs. It was there at our arrival around 1:30 and remained when we left around 3. Awesome encounter. till next time, John G Petruzzi _________________________________________________________________ Puzzles, trivia teasers, word scrambles and more.
