At Ellis Pond in Pickerington Ponds MP in Franklin Co at midday today was a juvenile Hudsonian godwit with one dunlin, the family of sandhill cranes, and a flock of ring-billed gulls with four Bonaparte's. The light was really wretched in the parking lot, but a couple of hundred yards west along Wright Rd, where there is a pull-off, visibility is better. The Pond's water level is as low as I've seen it in a long time, but no dinosaur bones visible yet; the light sucks as always, but might be better in late afternoon.
