This afternoon, Giff Beaton and I birded along the Ohio River in Jefferson
County. We had pretty much the same birds that have been present the past few
days including the 4 Long-tailed Ducks between the I-65 and Big Four bridges on
the Indiana side, plus at least 19 in the basin off Ashland Park, and 15-20
White-winged Scoters off Buckhead's/Kingfish. Other diving ducks are much
reduced in number from a few weeks. There were also 3 White-winged Scoters back
near Tumbleweed on the KY side. Later in the afternoon we also had a Red-necked
Grebe back on the IN side just upstream from the Big-Four bridge. Just off the
upstream end of Cox's Park were 3 more Long-tailed Ducks.
We got a call about the Red-necked Grebe at Long Run Park, so we decided to run
by there. We actually found TEN Red-necked Grebes on the lake there, plus
TWELVE MORE on the lake at the entrance to Valhalla Golf Course (visible from
US 60). Also, 2 White-winged Scoters were on the quarry lake on the west side
of the Snyder Freeway just south of the Old Henry Road exit.
Heard flyover Eastern Bluebirds two times; perhaps some that retreated south
are moving back in?
