[birdky] Warren Transient Lakes 18 and 19 March 2008

Joanie and I returned from vacation yesterday and I
was delighted to see the transient lakes with water. 
We were somewhat disappointed to miss the snow while
we were gone as Bowling Green has not received that
much in a few years, and I would have enjoyed seeing
the Whooping Cranes, but watching and photographing
whales in 80 degree weather wasn't too torturous.

The transient lakes were hosting a relatively low
number of ducks both yesterday and today with a few of
the following species present, mostly at McElroy.

Gadwall, American Wigeon, American Black Duck,
Mallard, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Northern
Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, Lesser
Scaup, and Bufflehead.  

Shorebirds present included American Golden-Plover,
Killdeer, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Least
Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Wilson's Snipe. 

A flock of gulls was present at McElroy today with
over 100 Bonaparte's, 4 Herring, and a few
Ring-billed.
