Greetings, With the thought of a rare bird to knock off my list, I really wrestled with making the trip. But I decided to just stay home. I went over to Kenton for a Saturday, had to get it done, glaucoma test. The last clear picture in my mind was the yellow head of a Bobolink....and I didn't have my camera...Darn it! Oh well, I'll get it one day. It was on Widcat Pike near Hepburn. After I recovered from the test, I went out to Big Island WA and got some shorebird activity in. I saw for the first time there this year: 6 Greater Yellowlegs 4 Long Billed Dowitcher 6 Solatary Sandpiper 2 Juvi Spotted Sandpiper Happy Birding and God Bless Steve Jones (a.k.a. sjlarue) Blog: http://sjlarueslenses.blogspot.com/ Psalm 103:4-6 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
