[birdky] RPT: Sauerheber Unit, Henderson Co., 21 Nov 2007

["Palmer-Ball, Brainard (EPPC OOS KNPC)" <Brainard.Palmer-Ball@xxxxxx>]

John Brunjes and I visited the Sauerheber Unit of Sloughs WMA in western 
Henderson County this afternoon. From the observation tower along KY 268 at the 
"Woods Tract" we enjoyed a wonderful variety of geese and dabbling ducks. Not 
sure how the brief upcoming hunting season will affect this collection, but it 
is certainly worth taking in if you are in the vicinity and have a spotting 
scope. You will know when you get to the right spot because the shallow water 
units on either side of the highway will be full of birds!
