Wow - thanks! I've been seeing many starlings AND bluejays.
Learning to ID birds is hard enough without the karaoke.

I too have been fooled by Bluejays and mockingbirds sounding like Killdeer!

And not to take away from anyone's conclusions or research, simply adding
nother thought on the subject of hearing killdeer... I recently thought I
eard one right over my head in Cleveland Heights and looked up to see a
tarling sitting on a wire doing a stunning imitation.

> Thanks, Scott. Yes, it's a great book. I'm in awe of Larry Rosche & keep
his books in my car year-round. I had trouble learning birds until 4-5
years ago when I started studying Larry's guidelines, hotspots, and tips.
What surprised me was hearing the killdeer long after they've disappeared
from the city areas I frequent, including large expanses of NASA Lewis
Field, where they're ubiquitous spring thru fall - and gone after the
abundant
grasshoppers have laid their eggs and left us. To see them last week on
the mudflats at ONWR, sucking on crustaceans & insects, felt right. But
all
this was just gut feeling from my meager experiences.

Friends,
The Killdeer are still with us. The authoratative Birds of the Cleveland
Region book lists Killdeer as "common to abundant" on the monthly
distribution chart for that species through the 2nd third of November,
then
uncommon to occasional in occurrence until March when they become
common/abundant once again. BOCR reflects data for the counties of Lake,
Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage, and Geauga. You can purchase it
online at the Kirtland Bird Club (active in all seven of these counties,
and
beyond!) at http://www.kirtlandbirdclub.org/booksale.htm
