Kentucky Lake has dropped over a foot since Friday. Mud flat means shorebirds this time of year and I wasn't disappointed to have 23 Pectoral Sandpipers feeding this afternoon. The number of Pelicans has dropped but there were at least 250 birds on the mud flat. Other birds of interest were: Pied Billed Grebe Green-winged teal Wood Duck Gadwall Hooded Merganser Bonaparte's Gull - they are back in the bays sporting black heads and bright red legs. Barkley Lake was covered with Bonaparte's Gulls Saturday afternoon. Hap Murray, Ky <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
