An unexpected 4 species of shorebirds were observed today at the Hardin Co. wetlands. They included:

Killdeer  17
Am. Woodcock  1
Common Snipe  2
Pectoral Sandpiper  9  2 weeks earlier than last year

Also there are unbelievable numbers of Lapland Longspurs on CH112 in Northern Wyandot Co. I estimate over 1,000 inds. this evening along with 2 Tundra Swans and large numbers of pintail and Canadian Geese.
