23 January 2005:
 
Yesterday, 22 January, while waiting on my daughter to date the SAT in
at Glasgow High, I did some light birding on the north side of Barren
River Reservoir (Barren County).  I we not prepared for the strong winds
in my kaki slacks, so my scans of the lake were perhaps somewhat
abbreviated.
 
At Beaver Creek, a few Ring-billed Gulls were observed along with a
Red-shouldered Hawk, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, and a Ruby-crowned
Kinglet.
At the gated end of Girl Scout Road, a Winter Wren was observed.
At the Peninsula, also called Sawyer's Landing/Marina, a single Common
Loon along with some Ring-billed gulls and a few Bonaparte's Gulls were
observed.
At the dam, only several uncounted Ring-billed Gulls and Bonaparte's
Gulls were observed.  The wind was very strong and this is the area were
I most likely missed birds sitting on the lake.
In Glasgow itself, the K-Mart parking lot hosted 200+ Ring-billed Gulls.
 
Later on 22 January, at Basil Griffin Park (Bowling Green/Warren County)
I observed 150+ Canada Geese, 1 apparent Cackling Goose, a few Mallards,
Lesser Scaup, and Ring-necked Ducks.
 
Today, 23 January, Petros Pond (Warren County) yielded 6 Mute Swans,
100+ Canada Geese, 5 Redheads, and 4 Mallards.  Much of the Pond was
frozen over.
 
Also today, there were no waterfowl on the Auburn Cemetery Transited
Pond located on the west Side of Auburn (Logan County)
 
That concludes this report.
