According to The Shorebird Guide the number of Golden Plovers is
approximately 1% of the entire world population of this species. It
scares you to think that this large of the percentage is in one area at
one time. It also shows the importance of additional shorebird habitat
in northwest Ohio.


Good Birding

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Common Nighthawk in Marion, Ohio

While leaving Whirlpool Corp. last evening in Marion, Ohio I was
pleasantly surprised to hear a common nighthawk patrolling the parking
lot lights. Checking my records this seems to be the earliest record
that I have recorded them.
  The numbers of Golden Plover off of Upper-Sandusky -Prospect Rd. and
the Herr road wetlands are unbelievable.
