Charadriidae: Killdeer, a good observer can perceive a 

 great decrease in these birds, five years ago they were very 

 common in this county and highly gregarious, now it is rare 

 to see five in a flock. I notice to that they are shifting their 

 quarters, formerly they were to be found mostly in corn 

 fields or around some inland pond, now they are more num- 

 erous around the salt marshes in the lower part of the state.
