[birdky] RPY: Logan-Todd Counties Observations of today (all common species)

01 November 2009:

 

I birded briefly today at my usual stops Logan and Todd Counties.

 

In Todd County at  Guthrie Swamp's NE basin were:

 

77 Canada Geese

3 Gadwall

1 Pied-billed Grebe

 

At the SW basins were:

 

11 Gadwall

4 Pied-billed Grebe

1 Great Blue Heron

1 Bald Eagle, Adult, observed "dive bombing a small group of coots in an
apparent attempt to force flight"

1 Red-tailed Hawk

6 American Coot

1 Bonaparte's Gull

1 Belted Kingfisher

 

At Lake Herndon in Logan County, were:

 

3 Pied Billed Grebe

3 Double-crested Cormorant

22 American Coot

 

At the KY 739 Transient Lake-Pond were simply 6 American Coots.  

 

I post this note because this pond seems to have some relationship in water
accumulation to the transient lakes of Woodburn.  I also note, that here in
Russellville I recorded 9.3 inches of rain in October following 7:1 inches
of rain in September.

 

That concludes this report.

 

PS:  On a personal note, my shoulder is not entirely healed from recent
rotator cuff surgery, but it is sufficiently healed to allow the lifting of
binoculars to the eyes and to allow assisting with scope-tripod balance
activities.
