Greetings... Charlie Saunders and I checked a couple spots along the Great Miami River in Hamilton and Fairfield this morning. There was a Tree Swallow, one American Pipit, 4 Killdeer, 4 Greater Scaup and 5 Lesser Scaup along the river in Hamilton. Roughly two miles south of Hamilton in Fairfield, we found a Least Sandpiper on the Tetanus Beach gravel bar. We assume it's the same bird that has been seen off and on this winter upstream on the gravel bars in Hamilton, though we haven't seen the sandpiper there in three weeks. Take care, ---Mike Busam Butler County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
