[birdky] Birding the Ohio River

    I birded the Ohio River and surrounding area on River Rd. today in 
Louisville and there were at least 800+ waterfowl in about 5 rafts from the 
Falls of the Ohio to the big 4 bridge on Ind. side and on the Ky. side from 
Captain Quarters to the Water Tower which also includes a flooded cornfield 
opposite Capt. Quarters as well as a Lake on Mayfair. On Mayfair they are now 
beginning to pump water in to the lake on the right as you are driving down 
Mayfair. These number are estimated on the low side.
