Glad to see someone is getting looks at Wood Ducks. The question is - Is anyone seeing Purple Gallinules? I would like to know if anyone has seen one this year in KY? They must be out there because hunters are allowed to kill them in season, right?

The lake is quickly drying at both ends. Since it is the only wet spot remaining there was a good assortment of birds to look through. Highlights were: Wood Duck Hooded Merganser - juvenile American White Pelican - 35
