The usual flooded-road b-n stilt site in southern Sandusky Co was birdy, with four stilts, three Wilson's phalaropes, and a long-billed dowitcher, along with both yellowlegs, killdeer and semi plo, spotted/pectoral/solitary/semi-p/least/stilt sandpipers, two Caspian terns, and the abstinent or at least infertile ruddy ducks. Friends spotted a harrier nearby. More juveniles in the mix. The water continues to fall; we talked with the property owners, who said it's only about knee-deep over the road now; still, there are at least four other area roads still closed by water, and many other roadside ponds which could last through the coming month, or longer with some rain. No pipits of any flavor for us this morning. Late afternoon light would have been much better, though, to be sure.
