A colleague of mine has been doing survey work along several rivers in
northeast Ohio. He commented that he has been struck by a lack of
kingfishers on the rivers this year. After he mentioned it, I realized
that I haven't been hearing kingfishers along the stretch of the
Vermilion River that passes by my house either. Has anyone else noticed
a dearth of kingfishers this year, at least on northeastern rivers, or
can we chalk this up to "casual sampling"?
