[birdky] Pelicans and Cormorants

About 1000 American white pelicans are using the Lake Barkley islands just west 
of the channel across from Little River. The AWP are flying daily up Little 
River beyond Lake Barkley St. Park and then back to the mid-lake islands hours 
later. Strangely, compared to recent years, there are less than 100 dc 
cormorants from Rock Castle to a mile south of Little River.  In years past 
numbers this time of the year in this area would be closer to 8,000.  With 
about 700 dcc nests in this area now, I would have guessed 10,000 or more dccs 
at this time.
