[birdky] bky: blue skies in W. Ky.


      At last a sunny day to kayak and bird in W. Kentucky.  Although 
breezy, I was able to cross Lake Barkley from LBL south of the bridge and 
observe six American White Pelicans along with a good view of Swamp and 
singing Song Sparrows.  Coots  and other ducks in the reserve beyond the 
ridge,  but a kayak does not hold a scope so I was unable to identify the 
duck species.
      A stop by Jonathan Creek on Ky. Lake revealed a dark morph Snow Goose 
on a spit with Forster's terns, Bonaparte's and Ringbill gulls .  Two 
Dunlin foraged along with many Killdeer on the mudflats.
      I remain amazed at the return of the Great Blue Heron.  It is not 
unusual to see 20 at one time anywhere on the lakes.  When I first started 
birding, it was a treat just to see one!!
