I spent the day on Barkley and Kentucky Lakes
searching for hurricane birds, but apparently the low
moved a little too far east for a fallout at the dams
area.  I also checked Barkley as far south as the
68-80 bridge.  

The weather did produce a nice fallout of migrant
Caspian and Common Terns however, with totals of
approximately 250+ and 70+ respectively.  Four Black
Terns were observed from the 68-80 bridge on Barkley,
and 30-40 Forster's Terns were scattered on both
lakes.  A Laughing Gull was also present at Kentucky
Dam.

Birding any significant body of water, particularly
south and east of the path of the low associated with
Katrina, could possibly turn up rarities for a few
days.
