Dan Sanders and Doreene Linzell report a likely Sprague's pipit near a
pond in Sandusky Co. From the last stoplight in Clyde along Rte 20, go
.9 mi SE toward Bellevue, turn left (N) on South Ridge Rd (#175) and go
about 1.7 mi. The bird was seen near the pond on the right across the
road from house #5776. They saw this bird once, departed, then returned
later and refound it late this afternoon. Paler overall than American
pipit, prominent dark eye, pale bill, no tail-wagging, white on throat.
They did NOT have a camera for photos, and photos for this second Ohio
record of this species would be urgently needed.
Good luck to all chasers,
Bill Whan
Columbus
