From 8:30-9:15 or so this morning, Mary Walter and I watched a band-rumped storm-petrel from the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center overlook. Great looks in the scope as it flew low over the turbulent water (almost no shorebird habitat left). Brainard got there in time to see it for a little before it floated downriver. Several people still there looking for it, so it may show up again. Quick notes: This is a very dark bird with a white rump. In flight, feet do not extend beyond the tail. Wing pattern above and below is also helpful in the ID. Good luck.
