Highlights:
FOS 1 Common Nighthawk
4 Green Herons
2 Least Flycatchers
1 Willow Flycatcher
1 Bell’s Vireo
1 female Black-throated Green Warbler
12 Great Egrets (my high count this year)

I covered in order:
Hardy Slough south end, Shorebird Unit, Muddy Slough, Wood Tract south, Ohio
River access, Pond Creek Marsh, and Gentle Pond areas.
At Wood Tract south I parked at the pump-jack and walked back to look for
shorebirds. Struck out.


Shorebirds were non-existant at the Sloughs (but I had some out at Horseshoe
Road slough.)
