Some good mudflats are developing at the Glacier Ridge metro park wetland; this morning, in addition to scads of mallards and red-winged blackbirds, we saw killdeer, a couple of spotted sandpipers, a green heron (doing some good fishing), and at least one Virginia rail running around in the reeds. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jklsemi/7388786122/in/photostream/ --S. spines at gmail.com ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
