Location:     Fulton County, KY, US
Observation  date:     7/16/10
The Mottled Duck is still feeding in a  small puddle along Highway 94 near 
Hickman.  The shorebirds listed below  were seen in the Obion bottoms, 
habitat is drying in many spots but the river is  still high.  The number of 
swallows is mind boggling but I put a  conservative number on species due to 
difficulty of separating them.
