On January 1 I went out birding with Barbara Warner to help start the new year
of birding and do some scouting for the Hodgenville CBC. I birded the Ohio
River in Indiana from the "harbor" to the Falls of the Ohio, and then went to
Elizabethtown, Cecilia and Hodgenville to finish the day. As of now there are
only two people to cover that entire count so hopefully this report will pique
someone's interest in helping. The list:
