This individual flushed from the marsh's northwest portion, heading to a spot somewhere in the southeast corner - a first for the impound...for me, at least!  Six species of shorebirds present and two Common Terns.  On Sunday, an Eastern Bluebird and roosting Sharp-shinned Hawk were unusual.  I was happy to see the raptor, as we have often puzzled while hawk-watching at Conneaut just where the these sharpies & Broad-wings spend the night locally.
 
A Black-crowned Night-Heron squawking in the blackness this morning became a new addition to the property list here in Sheffield Lake.
 
The Red Admiral numbers today in NE Ohio seemed to trump even those those back in mid-April...pretty unfathomable.
