As of 12:30 p.m. this afternoon, Thursday, August 28th, the WILSON'S PHALAROPE and AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS reported by the Neubauers were still at the lake of the main Englewood Metropark. The WILSON'S PHALAROPE was still in the location the Neubauers described below. It was near shore, giving nice views. It was surrounded by other shorebirds, including many LESSER YELLOWLEGS and a vocal GREATER YELLOWLEGS. The side-by-side views of the two yellowleg species made for nice comparisons. A BLACK TERN was nearby, flying over the lake. The AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS were on the west shore of the lake at the northernmost water (the northern third of the lake is dry). In a separate sighting, there was a flock of about 50 common nighthawks over south Dayton at 7:30 p.m. last evening.
