While I was talking to the operations manager from the Geauga parks about the special nature of the habitat at Frohring, and the unique birds that it was attracting, three dunlin flew in, as if to emphasize the point. Total of over thirty dunlin, in beautiful, breeding plumage. (I love an umambiguous sandpiper!) Also three semipalmated plovers, five lesser yellowlegs, and savannah sparrows on the grassy edges.
