2 Sept 2012 Birders, The City of Columbus is in the process of removing the 5th Ave Dam on the Olentangy River. As of last night the water level upstream of the dam has already dropped 3-4 feet (with another 4-5 feet to go), exposing some nice looking mudflats and islands a few hundred yards north and south of the Woody Hayes Dr and Lane Ave bridges. I'll bird these mudflats regularly and post if I find anything but I thought others in the area would want to know about this interesting habitat as well. Good birding, Dave Slager Columbus, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
