I stopped by LaDue Reservoir at the Auburn Rd pull-off this morning. There were loads of shorebirds on the flats west of the bridge. The IDs I was certain of were: Least sandpiper (many) Semipalmated sandpiper (a few) Lesser yellowlegs (many) Solitary sandpiper (at least 2) Pectoral sandpiper (at least 2) Semipalmated plover (at least 2) Killdeer (lots) There also were a couple of great blue herons, wood ducks, mallards, a green heron, tree swallows, barn swallows, and a single ring-billed gull. Also, minutes after I got there an osprey flew in carrying breakfast. It dined in the tall, dead tree (ash maybe?) at the far western end of the flats. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
