As of about 5:00 pm today, one Marbled Godwit was hanging out near the boardwalk at Hoover Reservoir in Columbus, along with a Short-billed Dowitcher. There were a couple of killdeer and one yellowlegs (species undetermined). Things are getting pretty slow! In addition, there were about seven shorebirds that appeared to be Dunlin; if that's correct, they are the first that I've seen this season. The "appeared" part is because they were distant with poor lighting and they decided to take off shortly after Mary found them. They were accompanied in flight by three peeps, probably Least Sandpipers. -- Bill Heck ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
