Erica Szeyller-Macolley and I observed the Red Phalarope around 4:30 this afternoon at Battelle Darby Creek Metropark. Hope she sticks around for others to see her tomorrow. Also present were Short-billed Dowitchers, Black-bellied Plovers, Semipalmated, Least, and Spotted Sandpipers, Dunlin, and seemingly endless Semipalmated Plovers. An American Bittern also flew overhead as we watched the shorebirds and landed in the wetlands off Kuhlwein Road. See the eBird checklists for more details. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14126348 Good Birding, Alex Champagne ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
