14 July 2011:
I visited the KY 739 Transient Pond this morning for a brief period of
birding. The water has dropped significantly since my last visit on 05 July
and there is little water remaining. I estimate that the pond will be gone
within a week, if not before.
Missed today were both Black-necked Stilts and the pair of Ring-billed
Ducks.
Observed today were the following:
* ~60 Mallards (of which about ~30 flew, ~20 ran into the surrounding corn
and ~10 remained on the water),
* 4 Wood Ducks,
* 1 Lesser Scaup female (I found this bird to be odd for I have not
noticed it previously and cannot imagine "migrating" here in July.),
* ~50 Killdeer,
* 2 Spotted Sandpipers, &
* 4 Least Sandpipers.
Other species noted in the area included Red-tailed Hawk, Mourning Dove,
Horned Lark, Eastern Phoebe, American Robin, and Northern Cardinal.
That concludes this report.
