Bill's got the scope on eleven Mute Swans just about underneath Chenault Bridge, where Highway 34 crosses the upper reaches of Herrington Lake, between Boyle County and Garrard County. The huge, white birds are quite literally stopping traffic! (It's been almost as much fun watching the cars stop and back up for a better look.) I've lived here 18 years, Bill's been here 15 years, and we've been birding seriously for at least 12 years. But, we've never seen swans around here before! -- Margaret Case On Herrington Lake in Garrard County ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
