[HapC1@xxxxxxx]

Every bay, inlet, cove and beach on KY Lake had an abundance of gulls today.  
The mouth of Jonathan Creek was alive with Bonaparte's Gulls.  KY dam was a 
hot bed of activity.  A 1st winter LAUGHING GULL was feeding and resting 
below KY Dam.  A 1st winter Lesser Black-back Gull was sitting in the water 
above the dam.  There were many strange looking Herring gulls.  The numbers 
were staggering and I'm sure I missed something.
Common Goldeneye, Black duck, Shoveler, Gadwall, Wigeon, Ring-necked duck, 
Lesser and Greater Scaup, Hooded Merganser, Ruddy Duck, Horned grebes, Pied 
billed grebe and coots were also plentiful.
Other birds of interest were Bald Eagle, Red-Shouldered Hawk, 12 Northern 
Bobwhite, Least Sandpiper, Belted Kingfisher, Cedar waxwing and Rusty 
Blackbird.
