[birdky] Couple around Lex

Few days ago I walked the West Hickman Creek from Armstrong Mill Rd downstream 
to Tates Creek Rd, and saw a big mature Black Crowned Night Heron, and a "duck" 
I couldn't identify or find in any book, reddish browinish overall, longish 
(relative to mallards) neck white from under the chin down to breast, kinda 
continued a little bit as a streak on the back.  I'm not good at the water 
species yet, I just know a very few.  Had several young with it all with the 
same pattern discernable in their fluffy plumage.
   
  Out at Veteran's Park yesterday, saw a Prairie Warbler and a Black and White 
Warbler.  Chats and Yellow billed Cuckoos have been consistent. 
   
  Best birding wishes,
  Ben Albritton
