Assisted Charlie Logsdon of KY Fish and Wildlife today stocking trout at
various sites along Otter Creek in Meade County. Seen four bald eagles this
morning, two immature eagles were near the boat ramp on the Ohio River inside
the park. Two adults were at the nest inside Harrison County, IN (viewed from
KY). No gulls or waterfowl on the Ohio River were seen from the boat ramp.
From 11 AM till 6 PM we heard Sandhills flying over heading north. 1,000 is a
conservative count. I was outside tonight at 8:15 PM and could still hear
Sandhills flying north, go figure??
