I have lived in an apartment overlooking a quarry lake near downtown
Columbus for four years.  There is a breeding pair that has occupied that  lake and
the adjoining section of the Scioto River for that entire time, and is
apparently doing quite well.

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"?
