6:30am to 11am

42º overcast windy

In order I visited:

Woods Tract, Anderson Pond, 268 slough, Horseshoe Road slough, Grassy  
Pond/Powell's Lake Unit, Uniontown Dam, Highland Creek Unit, Jenny  
Hole Unit, 268 slough, Anderson Pond, Woods Tract.
Highlights only

Tundra Swans across 268 from Woods Tract: 8 adults (1 with a dark  
neck band) 2 juvenals
White-fronted Geese still outnumber the Canadas
Turkey Vulture Highland Creek Unit
Bald Eagle 1st year by Ohio River along Uniontown-Mt. Vernon Road.
Sharp-shinned Hawk Jenny Hole
N. Harrier male at Horseshoe Road


The Ohio River is high. Looks like water is almost flowing over the  
dam at Uniontown.
I guess the water is moving too fast; so no gulls or ducks at the dam  
at all.
No Lapland Longspurs sighted.

Sparrow sightings were way down today compared to yesterday.

Enormous mixed flocks of Grackles, Starlings, & Red-winged Blackbirds  
swarming over the fields at Horseshoe Road.
