[David Roemer <dlroemer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Red Phalarope was again present at Jonathan Creek
on Kentucky Lake yesterday, Septmeber 15.  Three Stilt
Sandpipers were also present among the previously
reported shorebirds, and a 1st yr. Franklin's Gull was
resting among the flock of Ring-billed Gulls.  An
adult Lesser Black-backed Gull was seen above the dam
on Kentucky Lake.

A walk along the ditch through the field which holds
McElroy Lake in Warren County this afternoon,
September 16, yielded a few migrants.  Although the
ditch is dry and the corn has been harvested around
it, vegetation in the ditch is making for good cover
and food for seed-eating birds.  At least 20 Savannah
Sparrows and 12 Bobolinks were present, as was a Marsh
Wren, several Dickcissels, and lots of Indigo
Buntings.  A Northern Harrier was also observed.

Yard birds along Drakes Creek this morning included
Yellow-bellied and Least Flycatchers.
