[birdky] Boone County Birds

Sunday I finally got out in the late afternoon in between the rains.  The only 
thing I found was a Horned Grebe at Camp Ernst Lake.  Down at the Covington 
Landing there were 5 American Black Ducks.  The Black Ducks have been around 
all winter but I have never seen more than 3 in the past. 

Monday I only found 1 Ring-necked duck (male) and a Pied-billed Grebe at 
Marydale.  However I saw my first Eastern Phoebe of the season there. 

This morning I found 4 Northern Shovelers (2 male and 2 female) at Marydale.  
To my sadness, Marydale has been sold and I don't know how much longer I'll be 
able to get back there to bird.   It's been a treasure chest of birds these 
past few years.

My best birds continue to be my Red-headed Woodpecker pair have continued to 
stay in my backyard since last spring.  They nested last year and I'm hoping 
that they stay and nest again.
