What an awsome weekend! Through an email list that I am on for birders, I recieved an email saying that there was a Marbled Godwit in the Columbus area...How many Godwits are in Ohio right now you may ask...1 confirmed, this one. :biggrin:. So of course I had to go! While I was there, I visited a couple of other places and rounded off my Saturday. I will put an example of each species I saw and a link on the bottom to the rest.
1. GBH Feeding:
No Flips, the Heron wasn't into performing.
2. Green Heron strutting his tuft:
20 feet away and didn't care that I was there. There were seven there all within camera range and different ages.
3. Virginia Rail:
Another rare bird for the area.
4. Marbled Godwit:
5. Dowitchers:
Showed up just as I was leaving..I had to go back.
Almost forgot:
6: Least Sandpiper
These were the shore birds that I saw that day, I will post pics of the land birds when I am done PP them.
Here is link to rest:
