The shorebird habitat is in the middle pond along LaRue-Prospect Rd. in Marion Co. Walk the dike north along the west side and look east. Better in the afternoon. There is a pull-off on the south side. Park, cross the road and head north along the dike. Doreene Linzell Dan Sanders Leslie Sours Sarah Lucas Jeremy Dominguez Oops! The large group of White-rumpeds just lifted off. So far they have not returned. They are back!!! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
