["Scott & Glenda Record" <sgrecord@xxxxxxxx>]

Waterfowl at Ballard appear widely scattered as the Ohio river continues to 
rise.  Few of the 45,000 ducks reported in the Ballard zone were viewable 
today.  Very few geese are reportedly in the area.  Highlights from this 
morning include:
Bald Eagle  2
Redtail  (dark morph western) 1
Mallard--200
Black duck  2
Widgeon  2
Gadwall   30
Hooded merg  4
Can goose  70
Wht fr-goose  5
Snow goose   45
Horned lark   150
Lapland longspur  5
L. shrike  1

Almost no blackbirds  of any species were seen at the local Brewer's hotspots.  
Also missed the Spotted towhee that was in McCracken co in Dec.  I will 
continue to put out corn at this location.  Curiously the local flock of 
sparrows, cardinals and towhees that use this spot were almost entirely absent 
today as were the fox sparrows that have been around the brush piles at this 
location.
