I visited Barren River Lake today and since we bascially don't ever hear
anything from there any more, below is a summary of observations. Other than a
wad of maybe 600-700 Ring-billed Gulls near the head of the Beaver Creek
embayment, the commonest bird on the lake today was Bonaparte's Gull; several
hundred total scattered in mostly small, loose groups all along the old river
channel plus the Walnut Creek embayment. Other waterbirds included:
Canada Goose (a few)
Mallard (a few)
American Wigeon 6
Northern Shoveler 1
Redhead 4
Ring-necked Duck 5
Lesser Scaup 1
Red-breasted Merganser 2 males
Pied-billed Grebe 100+
Horned Grebe maybe 15-20
Common Loon (surprisingly none)
Great Blue Heron (a few)
American Coot 6
Sandhill Crane (only 7)
Ruth & Lew Young's Rufous Hummingbird was a no show for me in about 45 minutes
during the late afternoon, although Lew had seen it earlier in the afternoon.
