While leaving Whirlpool Corp. last evening in Marion, Ohio I was pleasantly surprised to hear a common nighthawk patrolling the parking lot lights. Checking my records this seems to be the earliest record that I have recorded them. The numbers of Golden Plover off of Upper-Sandusky -Prospect Rd. and the Herr road wetlands are unbelievable.
