[birdky] RPT: late birds Falls of the Ohio and Indiana Shore

I had the chance to bird the Indiana shore of the Ohio River on Thursday Oct. 
25 and Saturday Oct. 27 and was really happy with what I found.  The highlight 
was four well-studied fem./imm. Black Scoters above the dam at the Falls of the 
Ohio. Other species:

first parking lot for Falls - odd locale

location of birding there 12 years!
