Hi all,
I was birding Minor E Clark Fish Hatchery under Cave Run Dam in Rowan County
last evening and was surprised by 9! species of waterfowl.  All of the
unexpected birds were in the 3 largest ponds closest to SR 801.

Many Canada Geese
3 Wood Duck
5 Mallard
1 Pair of Blue-Winged Teal
1 Male Hooded Merganser   (also had a female bird on 4/16)
2 Female Red-Breasted Merganser    (had 8 females on 4/20 and 4/29, but not
4/30)
1 Female Bufflehead    (5 on 4/16, and 1 female bird also seen on, 4/20 and
4/29, but not 4/30)
1 Male Ring-Necked Duck
1 Female Lesser Scaup

Also had LOTS of swallows including Tree, Barn, N. Rough-wing, Cliff, and a
few Banks.

Only Shorebirds were several Spotted Sandpiper and Killdeer.


Good Birding,
Brian Wulker
