Black-Necked Stilt and Tricolored Heron! I went with some friends to see the stilt, which just showed up at a state park north of Cincinnati, and while we were waiting for it to show up, another birder told us he thought he had a Tricolored Heron, and sure enough, there it was! I also added a bunch of birds to the year list on Saturday as well - Savannah Sparrow, Northern Rough-Winged Swallow, Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sandpiper, Yellow-Throated Warbler, Barred Owl, Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, Sora, Virginia Rail, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting. All in all, a great day birding with great looks at great birds.
