Friends, The Killdeer are still with us. The authoratative Birds of the Cleveland Region book lists Killdeer as "common to abundant" on the monthly distribution chart for that species through the 2nd third of November, then uncommon to occasional in occurrence until March when they become common/abundant once again. BOCR reflects data for the counties of Lake, Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage, and Geauga. You can purchase it online at the Kirtland Bird Club (active in all seven of these counties, and beyond!) at http://www.kirtlandbirdclub.org/booksale.htm Scott ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
