Hi all, Someone called in to Black Swamp Bird Observatory to report a Wilson's Phalarope at Metzger Marsh. Sure enough, I just checked it out and there's a female in full-breeding plumage working close to the road near the second pull-off (after the 90 degree bend). Also present are good numbers of Black-bellied and Semipalmated Plovers, Dunlin, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Killdeer and a Short-billed Dowitcher. It's worth checking Metzger several times a day for the odd shorebird. Good birding, Ethan Kistler Education and Outreach Specialist Black Swamp Bird Observatory Oak Harbor, Ohio 43449 419-898-4070 2011 League of Ohio Sportsmen Conservation Organization of the Year Award 2012 Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce Prism Award for Community Improvement www.bsbobird.org www.ohioyoungbirders.org www.biggestweekinamericanbirding.com BSBO on Facebook and Twitter OYBC on Facebook BIRDING OHIO on Facebook ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
