Not rare summer resident; frequent along the river and usually at least

 one seen flying south ; March 15, 1884, first seen at the J. Nettle farm 

 southwest of Camden, they having doubtless just arrived ; March 14. 1885, 

 first of the season seen by my friend Frank C. Groninger, near Camden ; 

 the next day I saw nine near Deer Creek, south of Camden. 



On the home farm near Burlington it was the custom to salt the cattle 

 regularly once a week in a certain place in a pasture near the house, and 

 this place was a favorite resort for the killdeers ; one or more pairs could 

 be seen there any day during summer and fall. Xests were occasionally 

 seen in the cornfields. 



\'ifjo County: Very common everywhere; March 16 and 17. 



.]f(mroc County: Perhaps less common; arrives as early as March 7. and 

 remains until in Xovoniber. One noted February 23. 1883.
