["Roseanna Denton" <roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was able to get out on the "mudflats" of Fishing Creek (Lake Cumberland) 
for a couple of hours yesterday and today. The dry lake bed is quickly 
becoming covered in vegetation. Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats, Song 
Sparrows and Red-winged Blackbirds have wasted no time taking advantage of 
the new habitat. Prothonotary Warblers are still singing in the area despite 
their nesting areas being a LONG way from water, now, and only a creek where 
a lake used to be.
The most unusual thing I saw was a Solitary Sandpiper. I think it may have 
been unable to fly, as one wing looked a little drooped.
Birding smiles . . . . .
