Greetings... The Least Sandpiper was still on the Great Miami River gravel bar at Hamilton Riverside Natural Area, Butler County, this morning. Charlie Saunders, Jack Busam, and I saw it around 11:00 a.m. Waterfowl numbers were again unremarkable, and seemingly consisted of the same birds that have been on this stretch of the river for about two months. One difference was that there were over 130 Ring-billed Gulls and 6+ Herring. This is the largest number of gulls we've seen on this section of the river--30 has been our previous high count. There were also a few American Pipits along the river edge--at least 2, but probably more. Take care, ---Mike Busam Butler County, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
