David Roemer and I started our day at Jonathan Creek and Blood River.  We 
later continued our birding at the dams.  Smithland dam was the highlight 
with one Lesser Black-backed gull and 2 First year Laughing Gulls.  An Adult 
Laughing Gull was seen sitting on the lock at KY Dam.  The male 
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher was on the wires at Barkley Dam.
Thirteen species of shorebirds were seen on the mud flats.  The list 
includes, Semipalmated Plover, Greater & LesserYellowlegs, Solitary, Spotted, 
Semipalmated, Least, Baird's, Pectoral, Buff-breasted SP and Sanderling.
On my way home I stopped for a short walk on the mud flat at JC.  Two Stilt 
Sandpipers had dropped in.  Hunters started arriving and we chatted a bit 
about the upcoming season.  My information had been incorrect.  The early 
Canada Goose season opened today not Wood Duck season.  Sorry for the 
misinformation.
