FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Black scoters continue on Ohio River at Louisville

["Ben Yandell" <by@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt Stickel called to say he found 4 under I-65 at 3:50 this afternoon.
I found 5 just above the Falls of the Ohio and watched them 5:30-6:00
tonight.  All seem to be immature/female.  Were generally in the company of
a dozen or so coots.  The scoters floated downstream until they were about
to go through the open gates and then flew back upstream a few hundred
yards.  The 5 stayed very close together, about a third of the way across
the river from the Indiana-side park just above the Falls.  Several times, I
got to watch them stretch and throw their heads down as shown on p. 98 of
Sibley.
