STOPPED AT SANDY RIDGE RESERVATION IN NORTH RIDGEVILLE THIS EVENING AND IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNING INTO THE RESERVATION I HEARD A DICKCISSEL. I PARKED AND SOON FOUND MANY SINGING DICKCISSELS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE 8 - 12 AT A MINIMUM. LOTS OF MUD AND A FAIR NUMBER OF SHOREBIRDS. MOST ARE ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF THE WEST IMPOUNDMENT, SO A SCOPE WOULD BE HELPFUL. MAY THE BIRDS BE WITH YOU, HENRY. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
