Forwarding this from Troy Shively: To answer David's question, I was there on Saturday and there is no shorebird habitat at all. No ponds are drawn down, and there are no big flocks of terns or gulls yet anywhere. The lake is so polluted/full of algae, you are not allowed to swim and advised not to boat in the area. On another note though, the Euco doves are still at the Celina Grain Elevator. I did not check Mercer WA, and that often has shorebirds and strange ducks this time of year, so it could be worth a stop if you really are looking for someplace to explore. Hope that helps, Troy [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
