We found 48 killdeer in the field here at home and 37 more in a field about
a mile away. Around the neighborhood we also found 18 eastern meadowlarks,
about a dozen pipits, some eastern bluebirds, myrtle warblers, American
crows and too many starlings. Horned owls can be heard most evenings at
least an hour before dark and woodcocks will begin peenting any day now if
they haven't already.
