[birdky] RPT: PM visit to the Falls of the Ohio

I have been in Louisville this afternoon. Figured it might be a decent day for 
some fallout with the rain overnight.
 
This afternoon from about 3-4 I saw 9 species of shorebirds and missed Del's 
Solitary for 10 species there on the day:
 
Semipalmated Plover 6
Killdeer probably only about 10
Greater Yellowlegs 4
Lesser Yellowlegs 2
Spotted Sandpiper 10-12
Least Sandpiper at least 10
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1
Pectoral Sandpiper 1
Stilt Sandpiper 1
 
Most of the birds were scattered along the edges of the outer pools mostly to 
the left (upstream of the park overlook) for a change, suggesting that maybe 
the local Peregrines are not frequenting the area at the present time. I was 
*really* surprised to see no terns.
