[<terrywitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Despite rather ominous weather predictions, I spent a very productive day at Ky 
Lake.

I started at 8 AM looking again for LeConte's Sparrow in the field below the 
maintenance at Pace Point.  The weather was fine, but the sparrow was a no 
show.  The only birds of consequence seen there were House and Marsh Wren.  At 
the point, I managed to find a Surf Scoter on the east side of the island, seen 
from the boat launch ramp.   I checked Lick Creek, accesed off Lick Creek Road 
via Doherty Store Road.  Turn left on Herndon Cemetary Road at the T , and then 
left on a gravel road signed Lick Creek Acess Road.  

There are still numerous A White Pelicans in the Tn River, seen in various 
spots.  At the Manor Road access to Big Sandy, 4 Franklin's Gulls were seen 
albeit at some distance.  Britton Ford yielded the bird of the day, the 
Red-necked Grebe found yesterday by Jeff Wilson.  The bird was barely visible 
from the observation deck, and certainly not identifiable by me.  But by 
driving to the end of the road at the SE corner, close looks were achieved!  
Around the corner, a closer Franklin's Gull was mixed with the Ring-bills and 
Bonys.  There are loads of birds at Eagle Creek, but nothing unusual, and Paris 
Landing failed as well
