Melissa and I managed to get a few hours of birding in Friday and I was able to do the same today. Here are the highlights from Jonathan Creek (JC), Blood River (BR)and Kentucky Lake (KL). Gadwall - JC & BR Northern Shoveler - BR Northern Pintail - 7-JC 65+ - BR Green-winged Teal - BR Lesser Scaup - KL Black Scoter - 2 KL Common Goldeneye - 100+ KL Common Loon - KL Horned Grebe - KL Bald Eagle - 5 JC,BR & KL Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1 JC Least Sandpiper - JC & BR Wilson's Snipe - JC & BR Bonaparte's Gull - everywhere Forster's Tern - JC & BR Barred Owl - JC Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - JC Red-headed Woodpecker - KL Cedar Waxwing - KL Coyotes seem to be doing well on the mud flats this hunting season. A deer carcass at Blood River has fed the pack and the vultures. Jonathan Creek coyotes were ambling across the mud flat and weren't phased by two wet and muddy birders.
