[birdky] RPT: Otter Creek CBC revisited

I inadvertently hit the send button last week, reporting incomplete results
from the Otter Creek Park CBC on December 21st.  Here are complete
highlights.  14 observers in 6 parties. 71 species; an immature Golden Eagle
along the Ohio River bottoms west of Brandenburg and 2 Short-eared Owls east
of Flaherty were likely count firsts; waterfowl numbers/diversity actually
WERE above average due thanks to an unfrozen Doe Valley Lake which held 9
spp of waterbirds including 1 Common Loon, ca. 1500 Mallards and a few
others including No Shoveler and Canvasback; 8 Northern Harriers (most at a
roost site in tall grass northeast of Flaherty); all 7 woodpeckers; a
Loggerhead Shrike (1st on count in several years); 6 Red-breasted
Nuthatches; 70 Yellow-rumped Warblers; 14 Chipping Sparrows; 8 Purple
Finches; and a Pine Siskin.
