As I mentioned in my KI census report, it appeared that waxwings were still migrating. That I understand. But on Thursday, I had 4 adult Least Sandpipers feeding and preening on the Horseshoe Island mudflat on Muddy Creek Bay. So here is my question? Were they late going north, were they spending the summer in Ohio, or are they early coming south. I couldn't tell the sexes of the individuals. If I could have, it might help answer the question. Males migrate north earlier and south earlier. So if they were males, fall migration has started, if they were females, spring migration hasn't finished. But it appears the waxwings are showing us that. I hate to think fall migration has started, I haven't enjoyed summer yet... -- H.
