This afternoon there was an almost entirely albino Lesser Yellowlegs at Pickerington Ponds Metro Park in eastern Franklin County. It was seen from the Ellis Pond viewing area, along the edge of the water. A couple of poor quality but diagnostic digiscope photos are at the link below. http://genebirds.blogspot.com/ There is an area of mudflats visible from the viewing shelter at the Ellis Pond viewing area, but today it had only a Solitary Sandpiper. The area should be watched for close views of shorebirds in the next few weeks.
