We visited the sandspit area today from 2:30 to 3:30 PM. It was extremely windy with very rough conditions. Waves were lapping high over the breakwall! Note: You are at great risk of getting stuck on the way in, and out in soft wind blown sand; between the breakwall and the sandspit. Here are the birding highlights: Great Egret 1 Green-winged Teal 3 American/Eurasion Widgeon hybrid (1 male) ? Greater Scaup 1 female (Our old friend?) American Coot 2 Semi-palmated Plover 5 Black-bellied Plover 1 Golden-Plover 2 Greater Yellowlegs 2 Sanderling 4 Pectoral Sandpiper 1 Black Tern 1 (Still with lots of black) Caspian Tern 4 Bob and Denise Lane Note: We are presently on our way home to Mahoning County to see the Glossy Ibises. 1 _________________________________________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?
