["Roseanna" <roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hap and I spent the weekend birding various areas of Pulaski, Wayne, Adair and 
Taylor County. The focus of the weekend was to try to get Hap her life Northern 
Saw-whet Owl. Our past attempts had been unsuccessful and our record remains 
unblemished . . . . for once again, the owls were uncooperative! The 
consultation prize was watching the AMERICAN WOODCOCK displays at Little Lick. 
We enjoyed superb looks at a couple of birds that chose the middle of the road 
to perform their peenting and strutting before flying up to display. The 
headlights didn't seem to bother them at all. What little charmers!
Other highlights of the weekend were 20 waterfowl species including 3 SURF 
SCOTERS (2 gorgeous males and a female at the Green River Marina), BLUE-WINGED 
TEAL, RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS, GREATER SCAUP (a nice study of a raft of at 
least 15), PINE WARBLERS, VESPER, CHIPPING and SAVANNAH SPARROWS and PURPLE 
FINCHES.
