A check of the Morgan area in Christian County and the Guthrie area in Todd 
County yielded the following highlights:

MORGAN
Wood Duck w/ brood
Mallard (several broods)

BLUE-WINGED TEAL (Approximately 35 broods with many young approaching adult 
size.  It's nice to see that a good number of the young hatched in Kentucky 
will apparently survive long enough to fledge.)

Ring-necked Duck (female)
Ruddy (2 males)
Great Egret (5)
Great Blue Heron (50+)
American Coot (3)
Killdeer (~120)

BLACK-NECKED STILT (11+ adults with one downy juvenile which was led to the 
wheat stubble/corn by one parent.  The birds are still behaving territorially 
with distraction displays and incessant proclamation of their disapporval of my 
presence.  It's possible that there may still be other birds incubating or more 
juvs in the area.)

Lesser Yellowlegs (5)
Least Tern (4)

GUTHRIE/NORTH POOL
Great Egret 
Great Blue Heron (~20)
Bald Eagle (adult)
Lesser Yellowlegs (2)
