I just wanted to report that I saw a pair of American Avocets at Englewood Dam in Montgomery County on Wednesday night (7/31). I'm sorry for the late report but I am new to shorebirds and just now uploaded my pictures and identified it (with help from more experienced birders). I am also new to Englewood Dam but these are the directions that a friend gave me to get to the area where the birds were sighted ..."Follow signs to patty shelter but instead of taking the curve to the right make a hard left and follow down to the water." ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
