In addition to the White Ibis, today I had three juvenile LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS in the marsh on the east side of Griswold Rd, 1/4 mile north of Rt 77. Just pull over onto the shoulder, walk up the dike, and look toward the back (directly east) where there is a lot of exposed muddy edge. You can get closer by walking along the dikes - within about 50 yards. Note that this is not the marsh right on the corner of the intersection but the one just north of that.
Jim Pawlicki was checking out a number of swallows along Meadville Rd this evening and had four species, including one late CLIFF SWALLOW, which he got me on as well. Nine species of warblers were in our yard today, including one OVENBIRD incongruently in the open in our apple tree. The highlight for us was a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, a first for the yard. Good birding!
