Meadowlark 24 The 2 Cackling Geese seen last Saturday were not found this morning. It's unbelievable that killdeer is the only shorebird at this area. Usually by now I've gotten at least 6 species of shorebirds. Longbrakes' is on pg. 47 of DeLorme, 4,5-B 2 miles south of Forest, Ohio Rick Counts Wyandot Co. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
