Hello all, Before looking for shorebirds at Willow Point WA, I looked around for any sign of waterfowlers given it's peak teal season. The place appeared to be vacant, so I ventured in. I was happy to find the continuing American Avocet in the impound to the east of the Fish Work Unit. This unit has been productive for shorebirds since about mid-August. However, access to certain Wildlife Areas in Sandusky and Erie counties is tenuous right now during teal season, but since I've seen endorsements of shorebirding at these sites on the ODNR website ( http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/WildlifeLogin/tabid/24321/Default.aspx) I feel that we're welcome. Good birding, Justin -- Justin Bosler Port Clinton, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
