Mary and I went to the Falls a couple of hours before sunset (when the light
is lousy), but managed to add a surf scoter to Matt's list below. The surf
scoter was above the Falls (seen from the Indiana side).
Also saw one of the imm. black scoters. Did not find the Am. white pelican.
Mary had a flock of 100-150 sandhill cranes in e. Jefferson County
mid-morning today.

Eddie Huber and I found 3 imm/female black scoters at the water tower on
the Ohio River at about 10 am today. At about 10:30 there was a white
pelican at the basin above the Falls. About 5 rafts of ducks between the
water tower and the Falls include about 50 horned grebes, 2 common loons, 30
bufflehead and smaller #'s of ruddy ducks, redheads, scaup and pied-billed
grebes. In addition Jane Bell heard then saw about 45 sandhill cranes
flying over at Towhead Island.
Brainard may have misinterpreted my call to him reporting MANY birds as I
was excited to see the first real movement of ducks into the area that I've
seen this Fall. He was right that it was a very good day to be out looking
on the river.
