Hello all, After spending some time on Riddle Rd., I made my way over to the large skypond in Fireside, just W of the jct. of TR-81 and TR-178. Thanks to Doreene Linzell and Steve Landes for posting about this site over the weekend. There were fewer shorebirds present than on Sunday, but there was a fair diversity of birds. Most interesting among the shorebirds was a juvenile, probable nominate Atlantic Short-billed Dowitcher. It was a fresh juvenile with overall pale gray-buff coloration on the upperparts, a pale buffy wash across a lightly streaked breast, and largely whitish belly. Unfortunately, the light was too poor and the bird too distant for photos. I hope it sticks around another day or two. The other noteworthy find here was a juvenile Black Tern hawking insects low over the pond with hundreds of swallows. Pretty neat. Good birding, Justin -- Justin Bosler Port Clinton, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
