Hi Ohio Birders, There were three Willets on the South beach at East Fork State Park at 5:30pm today. There is much activity due to a rowing regatta that will be going on tomorrow(?) and fishermen on the beach. The Willets were very calm, allowing me to approach and photograph them. Finally a boat rowed near to shore and the birds moved to the east end of the beach and were still there when I left. Here is a list of the other birds seen in the park between 3 and 6:00pm.
