This morning I watched a group of 30 Ruddy Turnstones arriving to the pond just north from a big pond at former Elevators site. These birds are gorgeous in flight and on a ground. Also, if you are walking the fields, please, be VERY cautious. You can accidentally step on sparrow's nests which are just on a ground, and also pick up some ticks. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
