Troy Shively just called, reporting a long-billed dowitcher in Logan Co, along Twp Rd 33 where Co Rd 11 intersects. This flooded field also has snipes, killdeers, and least sandpipers. Long-bills tend to use the central flyway well to our west in their hurried journey to the breeding grounds in spring, so they are rare in spring in Ohio. Perhaps persistent west winds moved this one off course; they are worth looking for now. Short-billed dowitchers probably won't show up here till late next month.
