[birdky] LICKING RIVER

Saturday 23rd, Blue Licks to Harrison county (mouth of cedar creek)
(8-10 miles)

 

Rhonda and I kayaked our usual stretch of the licking river Saturday; a
good flow limited the need for paddling.  Highlights were a singing
Blackpoll, 4 yellow warbler, 2 prothonotary, numerous broods of wood
duck, 6 species of flycatcher, the resident white red-tailed hawk, an
increase in heron nest from the 4-5 nest 5 years ago to about 18 now,
and a pair of river otter. Oh yeah, and a fish whose wake rocked my
kayak.
