Eighteen observers enjoyed the BBC/KOS Field trip at KY & Barkley Dams  
yesterday.  Gulls were a bit scarce.  We did find 5 species including  a very 
cooperative Thayer's gull that allowed David Roemer  to give a few lessons in 
identification.  Fifteen species of ducks were  seen with a beautiful male 
Long-tailed Duck as the  highlight.  Listed are a few of the highlights.
Common Loon - 1
Horned Grebe
American White Pelican - hundreds
Greater Scaup
Red-breasted Merganser - in breeding plumage
Black Vulture
Bald Eagle - 3 Adult
Bonaparte's Gull
Lesser Black-back gull - 2
Tree Swallow - 1
Brown Creeper - 1
Savannah Sparrow - 3
All totaled we had 65 species.
Thanks to all who participated.  It is always fun spending time in the  field 
with fellow birders.
