As a follow up to David's email...I'm really excited about getting access to
reservoir #4 opposite Jacobson Park! It seems to be (by far) the best place in
the Lexington area for wintering waterfowl. Over the past several years'
winters I've heard tantilizing reports of great ducks out there. Many species
are possible, from the scoters to goldeneyes, canvasbacks to uncommon
mergansers, grebes and more. I'd also expect some variety of gulls and terns as
well as some eagle sightings. Reservoir #4 would be the place for rarities in
our area as well. Kentucky American Water has a convenient gravel drive around
the lake with several strategic points that will be great for canvasing the
lake. We're planning about one outing per month from November through March.
Keep on the look out for the dates and times. Let's have a good showing!

Rose Canon is starting to work on the next newsletter. I have been forwarding
photos of interesting sightings for some of the past newsletters and she has
chosen to add some of these to the newsletter. For those photographers out
there, feel free to send a shot or two Rose for possible inclusion in an
upcoming newsletter. Her email address is on the web page under Club
Information / Contacts. Thanks to those that helped out with the seed sale. I
am still going through the numbers, but looks OK at first blush. Our next
outing is scheduled for Lexington Cemetery on Nov 9th. We are also planning on
adding some additional outings to Reservoir 4 thanks to the efforts of Mark
Tower and Tony Brusate. I will send out a note when I have them added to the
schedule. David Lang
