I was at the Wilderness Rd. peat pits with a friend last evening from 8 to 8:45pm. In this hot weather, it appears that evening may be a better time to visit. We found a good number of shorebirds and species there in the one wet spot left, plus a few along the canal. I had been there a week ago in the morning and there were much fewer. These shorebirds were there: 15 Killdeer 10 Semipalmated plovers 2 Lesser yellowlegs 3 Solitary sandpipers 4 Spotted sandpipers 6 Semipalmated sandpipers 30 Least sandpipers 4 Pectoral sandpipers Randy Rowe, Wooster ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
