All Birders,
At least 100+ Whimbrels were spotted today flying in formation in a
westerly direction along Lake Erie in three distinct groups, far out
in the lake.
This is the second day of observing them here this year.
A solitary Whimbrel was spotted using binoculars and a scope sitting
on the rock breakwater jetting into the lake.
Good birding to all,
Joe Stephenson and Ron Allensen
