I just came back from an early morning jaunt to check local reservoirs & "sky ponds" in the farm fields for waterfowl (saw common mergansers, hooded mergansers, ring-necks, wood ducks, mallards & of course canada geese). One of the fields close by had a single killdeer land in it. But more interestingly, we (husband & couple of friends) saw a killdeer in Holmes County when we went to see the Harris' sparrow on Jan 29.
