This morning when I went to Alum Creek and Hoover Reservoirs, killdeer 
were present at both places.  A lone turkey vulture was soaring over the 
tree line on the east side of Hoover Reservoir just above the dam.  I 
thought I saw a northern rough-winged swallow next to the boat house 
behind the Hoover office but I couldn't get close enough to tell for 
sure.  So if you're in the area, keep your eyes peeled for it.

On October 30, I saw a brown thrasher at Lazelle Woods Park (Franklin 
County) at about 8:30 in the morning.  I didn't think much of it at the 
time but I received the fall 2008 issue of the Cardinal the other day and 
noticed that the late date for that species that year was october 5 at 
Buck Creek.
