I tend to 'gloss over' the very common birds, especially the slightly annoying types, like Blackbirds,, House Sparrows and KILLDEER! Today I saw something for the first time - a Killdeer was feeding on the exposed mudflat at LaDue Reservoir (Geauga Count) and it was rapidly tapping the ground with one foot for a couple seconds then reaching down like it was eating something. Was it trying to scare the invertebrates from the mud? Watch this video and see what you think. You may have to enlarge the image - look in the upper right of the screen for two arrows pointing away from each other and click on them. The image will increase in size. Then play the video. https://www.flickr.com/photos/85567104@N05/27950685760/in/photostream/ Matt Valencic Geauga County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
