In order separate reports for: Horseshoe Road slough, Mill Pond Road (KY1574),
and Horseshoe Road slough-backside.
I was surprised at the low number of Great Egrets at HRs, after bpb reported to
me he had 600 yesterday.
I found most of them at the Mill Pond Road slough. I wonder how many where
depends on time of day.
