I saw and heard two Killdeer in Athens County yesterday, about 5 miles East
of the City of Athens.  I also saw at least 100 Turkey Vultures in the air
near SR 50 between Athens and Guysville.  Local birders may want to watch
this area because last spring Aaron Boone indicated that one of the field
workers for the OBBA 2 had two Yellow-crowned Night Heron near the Guysville
exit off of SR 50 (Athens County).  I went back several times to look for
these birds but could never locate them.

Also on this farm in Morgan County (just North of Athens County DeLorme 70
D2), I had 25 Red-winged Blackbirds, 5 Grackle, and 3 Woodcock.  There are
also many Turkey Vultures flying around this area.  In addition to the above
noted 100 Turkey Vultures, I had about 20 more Turkey Vultures near the
north end of Burr Oak Lake.  The thaw and snow melt over the last couple of
weeks has revealed a lot of deer carcass's on the roadsides and the Vultures
are loving it.

A short time ago ( 9:15pm ) my wife was working at our computer by an open
window and she heard several killdeer !

Any other "sightings" of killdeer out there ?  They're just a bit earlier
than previous years.

Thanks,
