Subject: [birdky] RPT: Transient lakes roundup ... May 20th
Eddie Huber and I toured the transient lakes of southern Warren and
Christian counties yesterday, May 20th.
We were somewhat disappointed, coming away with only 11 species of
shorebirds, few waterfowl, and no terns, gallinules, whistling-ducks, or
ibis ...
As has been reported recently, McElroy Lake remains high and backing into
the surrounding cornfields. Because the lakes came up so late, few waterfowl
are lingering on them, although McElroy, in particular, has a few. Although
many surrounding smaller bodies of water have receded, only a few had any
numbers of shorebirds at all, highlighted by about 10 White-rumps on Chaney
Lake along US 31W and a Black-bellied Plover and about 60 Dunlin on an
extension of McElroy Lake west of KY 884 northwest of the lake, itself. A
few roads in the area are still blocked by high water.
In southern Christian County, even fewer lakes and ponds have receded, so
habitat was even scarcer there. We only tallied some common shorebirds and
waterfowl there.
