Hello! As a follow up to Paula Lozano's post earlier this evening, there also were Baird's Sandpipers and the Red-Necked Phalarope previously reported by Kenn Kaufman at the CR175 (S. Ridge Road) location in the only remaining puddle near the road. With the evening sun at my back, I was afforded great views of these birds in my binoculars and scope. When my wife and I first arrived at the C34 location (no water now) around 5 PM, the only birds were 37 Great Egrets and 13 Great Blue Herons all paying attention to a coyote that was eyeing them as he/she circled the field. By far, the most birds were at the CR292 location on both sides of the tracks. There also were at least a dozen Short-Billed Dowitchers and 14 Northern Shovelers at this location. I carefully scanned the areas adjacent to the water at this location several times for over an hour looking for Buff-Breasted Sandpipers but came up empty. At the T80 location, there were just a few birds just after 5 PM, but at 8 PM the area was filled predominantly with both Yellowlegs species, Mallards, GB Herons, and Blue-Winged Teal. It was interesting to see the change in numbers in such a relatively short time. Rob Lowry Powell, Ohio **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
