KY Birders,
After my dental appointment in Mt. Vernon, I found a couple singing Baltimore 
Orioles at the headwaters of Lake Linville this morning.  Also at the boat dock 
there were 8 Blue-winged Teal along with the Coots, C. Geese, Mallards and 
PB-Grebes.  An Osprey made a slow pass (almost kiting) about 50 feet over the 
waters of the cove but did not make a dive.  On the lake I also spotted lots of 
Tree, NRW, and Barn Swallows as well as one Horned Grebe in almost breeding 
plumage and another in near winter plumage.  A couple of GB-Herons were perched 
near the rookery across from the marina but I did not see any chicks. 


Note to self:  Never leave home without the "big" camera.
