[birdky] bky: Forster's terns

Forster's terns have increased to 18 today at Jonathan Creek (Ky. 
Lake)  They  perch on the sticks that fisherman have put in the water to 
attract fish. At least two were still in breeding plumage.

Also 5 Caspian terns sat poised among the Ring-billed gulls on the 
shore.  Never realized that Caspians  are as big or bigger than the gulls.

Mudflats are sparse, but two Least sandpipers and a few Spotted found 
something to eat along the shore.

A White-eyed vireo called  incessantly all morning at my cabin on 
Jonathan.  Its frequency surpassed the pewees!   It must have had something 
to "crow" about.  I will never know???
