FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Y. B. Loon still present

[Mandjomalley@xxxxxxx]

The Yellow-billed Loon is still present this afternoon on KY lake. I followed 
the directions given by several birders and easily found the Loon. It was out 
several hundred yards southeast of where Rt. 962 ends. I walked up the wooded 
hill to the south and had great looks in the scope. The bird was in the 
company of three Common Loons. It didn't dive once in the hour I was there 
(between 
4-5 PM). The water was like glass and with the low sun the view was great. I 
just wish the bird had come closer to shore for a photo.
Further south towards the 68 bridge upwards of a hundred White Pelicans were 
seen. Five flew past the Loon at one point.
I looked for the gulls at the dam without a lot of luck. I did get some 
excellent photos of an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, 30 feet away on the 
rocks at 
the boat ramp below the dam on the west side of the river. good luck to those 
visiting this weekend!
