Miscellaneous recent notes of interest: On his 28 Nov 2006 waterfowl flight for Fish and Wildlife, Mike Morton had 13 swans, 1000 Greater White-fronted Geese, and more than 2000 Gadwall at Sauerheber. Thanks to Fish and Wildlife's Joe Lacefield for forwarding info on a female-type White-winged Scoter that was shot by a hunter last week, apparently along the Ohio River in Henderson County. On November 28th, I had a Merlin fly over the farm in Jefferson County; also, I finally had a chance to tract down a warbler chip in the pines around the house and found it to be what I expected, a Pine Warbler hanging in with the locals. bpb, Frankfort
