Breeding plumage was the look of the day at Barkley and KY dams. The
American White Pelicans were once again loafing below both dams. The birds
that
caught our attention at Barkley Dam were 17 Great Egrets. Many of them had
the
Lime-green lores of high breeding plumage. Melissa and I agreed we had
never seen them look so lovely. Many horned grebes and Common Loons are also
in
full breeding plumage.
Highlights of the day were:
KY Lake
Ring-necked Duck - 3
Lesser Scaup
Wild Turkey - 13
Common Loon - 10
Horned Grebe -8+
American White Pelican - 28
Bald Eagle - 2 Adult - no sign of young but the adult was not on the nest so
they may have hatched.
Caspian Tern - 1
Red-headed Woodpecker
Tree Swallow
Cliff Swallow
Barn Swallow
Brown Thrashers
Yellow-rumped warbler
Barkley Lake
Red-breasted Merganser
American White Pelican - 200+ below the dam
