While birding around the KY and Barkley dams I saw two Scissor-tailed  
flycatchers.  One male below Barkley Dam on the power tower in the middle  of 
the 
grass field and one female on the power lines on highway 453.  
Other birds of interest included:
Great Egret
Black Crowned Night-Heron
Black Vulture
Osprey
Cooper's Hawk
American Kestrel
Herring Gull
Purple Martin
Tree Swallow
Cliff Swallows - hundreds
Barn Swallow
Dickcissel
A Mississippi Kite flew over my kayak on Blood River on Saturday.  It  was 
flying toward the south and looked to be in a hurry to get someplace.   This 
was 
a new yard bird for my Blood River list.
