thanks to the alert from Chris Pierce on Monday,
we visited Sandy Ridge (Lorain Metro Parks) on Tues Jul 26.

from 9:30-11:30 we observed many shorebirds occasionally
being scattered by a peregrine falcon, who flew low, landed in trees
and on the ground, but never attempted to actually catch anything.

seen:  least, semi-palmated, pectoral, spotted, solitary, stilt
sandpipers, short-billed dowitcher, pied-billed grebe, plus
many each of killdeer, both yellowlegs, gr blue heron, gr egret,
and a great many broods of mallard and wood duck.
also a Baltimore oriole feeding at a hummingbird feeder.
