[birdky] Falls of the Ohio

Location:???? Falls of the Ohio (KY)
Observation date:???? 9/23/09
Notes:???? I was joined by Larry Peavler shortly after having arrived at the 
Falls. A good thing, as he readily identified the plover I had seen earlier but 
could not ID without my Sibley's. Larry and I found zero birds on Wave Rock, 
but 
did hear a Greater Yellowlegs calling. Larry left after ~1 hour. A single adult 
Bald Eagle made a great entrance, moving a lot of large birds around. Less I 
forget, the Red-necked Phalarope was still present but unimpressed and 
continued 
swimming (thanks for posting Eddie/Brainard).?Only once did the phalarope leave 
the water and stand at the edge of 
the pool for a short time. It is still where first reported, across from the 
interpretive center observation deck in the large pool on the upper fossil reef.
