While returning to my car after TRYING to photograph the black terns, at Big Island Wildlife Area, I was talking to the caretaker when a mixed flock of shorebirds went over. I am figuring there were about 5-6 Black-bellied Plovers, around a hundread-ish Dunlin, and just as many Short-billed Dowitchers...I took a few pics and plan to count them tonight after I get home from work. They should be over near the west side of the east pond on LaRue Prospect if anyone is over that way...wonderful end to the day. :-D Happy Birding, and God Bless Steve J ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
