ASK had a good outing to Minor Clark Fish Hatchery. It was a very nice day and 
we ended up with 52 species as a group. Highlights included an Am 
Golden-Plover, Baird's Sandpipers, Yellow-throated, Worm-eating, Prothonotary, 
Chestnut-sided, Yellow and Common Yellowthroat, 3 species of vireo. 
 
A couple of us put the kayaks in upstream of Cave Run Lake and added, 
Broad-winged Hawk, Pileated Woodpecker and Rock Pigeons.
 
I then finished off the day at a Swift Night Out, heading to the top of the 
Annex garage in Lexington. We added a Peregrine Falcon chasing the pigeons 
around and eventually observed about 80 swifts heading into roost, once we 
figured out what roost they were using. 
 
Here is a link to some of the photos from the day. All in all a pretty good one.
