[birdky] Shorebirds, terns and ducks

KY Lake has risen covering most of the mud flat at Jonathan Creek.  Blood 
River has some habitat but shorebirds were only stopping for a short visit this 
weekend.  Lesser Yellowlegs were the bird of the weekend with flocks coming in 
on regular intervals.  Pectoral Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers were the next 
most common species.  Duck numbers are growing with two Northern Pintails as 
the highlight.  Forster's Terns are back in numbers in the bays.
