Hello all,

It seems like there was an appreciable arrival of Long-billed Dowitchers
into the region yesterday, 22 August.  As I mentioned earlier, I had a
group of 10 at the mouth of Crane Creek yesterday evening in Lucas Co.
Today, a group of 3 were noted at a closed area of Ottawa NWR along the
Toussaint River in Ottawa Co., and, later in the day, a group of 9 were
foraging with a nice aggregation of Green-winged Teal at the Boggy Bottoms
area (#39) of Pickerel Creek WA in Sandusky Co.  Although Boggy Bottoms
isn't quite ideal for shorebirds at this time, it would be worth checking
in conjunction with units 34-36, which are north of Parking Area D.  The
shorebirding at units 34-36 has been fairly productive this week. Stilt
Sandpipers and a loner Red Knot being my best shorebirds from Wednesday and
today.

Good birding,
Justin
