Location: Falls of the Ohio (KY)
Observation date: 9/12/10  (from 1330 to 1600)

Notes: Heard about 4 buff-b. sandpipers being reported at the Falls by Eddie 
Huber.  I couldn't find them from the observation deck yesterday.  So today I 
hiked  to the outer fossil beds to get closer views.  I observed 6 buff-b 
sandpipers feeding together on the fossil beds.  A few minutes later 6 pectoral 
sandpipers flew in with nice close scope views.  Yesterday, shortly before 
sunset 4 caspian terns landed on the outer fossil beds.........did not see them 
today.

Northern Shoveler  3       FOS 
Osprey  1
Killdeer 25+
Solitary Sandpiper   2
Least Sandpiper   7
Pectoral Sandpiper   6
peep sp. 1  (one solo peep that I couldn't ID on wave rock)
Buff-breasted Sandpiper   6     most buff-breasted sandpipers I've seen at the 
Falls.
