[birdky] BKY: Ohio County BBC/KOS Field Trip

[Beckhambc@xxxxxxx]

Ohio County Strip Mines - February 7, 2004
On this cold snowy day ten observers located 53 species. Ducks and geese were 
not numerous on the lakes and ponds, but we did find 3 Common Goldeneye, 
Mallards, Ring-necked Ducks, Wigeons, a Black Duck and Canada Geese. Raptor 
sightings included a Bald Eagle, Northern Harriers, Red-tailed Hawks and 1 
Rough-legged Hawk. Only 3 Short-eared Owls were sighted. Other highlights 
include 
Northern Bobwhites, Savannah Sparrows, Tree Sparrows and Purple Finches. Rossy, 
the 
Ross's Goose, was again found with the other domesticated geese walking 
around the farm yard.  It probably thinks it's a domesticated goose now as the 
farmer says it never leaves.

We tried to locate the Spotted Towhee in Muhlenberg County but were not 
successful.  It could still be there among the many towhees that were flying 
around.
