[birdky] Falls of the Ohio

Finally the Ohio River is down low enough to provide some habitat for  
migrating shorebirds. There were 7 species of shorebirds in fair numbers at  
Wave 
Rock.  If you don't know Wave Rock, it's the exposed rock seen  immediately 
across the river from the lower eddy which is west of the  Interpretive Center.
