On November 4th, 130 Bonaparte's Gulls, 6 Horned Grebes, 8 Common Loons and a Red-breasted Merganser were observed on the lake above Wolf Creek Dam. The Rufous-type hummingbird made a brief return visit to its Danville feeder on November 7th at about 7:50 AM. The bird has been intermittent in attendance at this feeder for several days. The feeder is at the home of Neil and Ginny Eklund (eklundn@xxxxxxx). Barren River Reservoir has hosted some interesting birds recently. On November 4th, 2 Franklin's Gulls, about 50 Common Loons, 37 Horned Grebes and 2 Tree Swallows were observed at various locations on the lake.
