Yesterday afternoon, Sunday, Aug 11, I checked out several places in Wayne County for shorebirds. Stops included Funk Bottoms observation platform, Wilderness Rd. ponds, and two areas in the Killbuck WA, Wright Marsh and where Clark Rd. crosses the marsh. Best shorebird habitat was at Wilderness Rd. ponds where there were 8-10 killdeer, 2 semipalm plovers, 1 lesser yellowlegs, and 4-5 solitary sandpipers. Not a lot, given the excellent habitat available. Wright Marsh was nearly dried up with no shorebird habitat. Clark Rd. crossing had a lot of marsh activity with many GBH and E. kingbirds. The only shorebirds seen were two solitary sandpipers and one killdeer. Overall, it appears there are not a lot of shorebirds in the Wayne Co. area right now.
