Well, the fam and I went to Killdeer Plains to look for cranes and shorebirds...dipped on both.  but we did get 40 species.  Submitted list to eBird.  And posted a picture of a budding birder on Birding Ohio's Facebook page.

I think the high point of the day was seeing Kingbirds EVERYWHERE.  Everywhere we went there was at least two.  No shorebirds were present...or visible, take your pick which one, ;-)  but there was plenty of water in the adjacent fields, and I was hoping to at least see some Spotted, but there was nothing but Killdeer at Killdeer. :-)

Anyhew, have a great week, happy birding, and God bless!
