Wise choice by Asher, he beat the Falls of the Ohio 4-0 this morning. All I
could find were about 50 Killdeer, 4 Pecs, 3 Least, and a Spotty . . . .

I checked historical fall records (2000-2022) for Minor Clark vs. Falls of the
Ohio and Minor Clark beat out about 30/20 so I decided to try there. Got to the
location at about 10:30 this morning and almost immediately found three plover,
soon joined by a fourth. Other shorebirds were about 80 Killdeer, 3 Spotted
Sandpiper and one Lesser Yellowlegs. I also found 9 warbler species from one
vantage point, most notably Wilson’s. I saw a Little Blue Heron for about
30 seconds before it flew over the tree line, and I had a count of 25 Great
Egret. This was an excellent introduction for me to the fish hatchery, which I
had never visited before.

I’m really hoping to find an American Golden-Plover this fall,
preferably in Kentucky but adjoining territory (Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee) would
be better than none at all. At which locations might I have the best chance of
finding one? I hope to get out Friday or Sunday, maybe both.
