They're just a bit earlier > than previous years. I saw my first Killdeer of 2007 on Feb. 1 here in SW Ohio, but in the last few days, I have had several flying around high above my yard and calling. With the full moon last night, they were calling well after dark and again early this morning when I took the dogs out. I have 2 Red-winged Blackbird males staking out territory at my pond, and several Common Grackles visiting the feeders, all having arrived in the last week. ~Kathi Kathi Hutton Felicity, Clermont Co.
