Two juvenile Sabine's Gulls were again present on
Kentucky Lake above the dam this afternoon, and viewed
from the western-most pull-out on the dam. 

Three adult Lesser-black Backed Gulls and a juvenile
Laughing Gull were also present on Kentucky Lake.

Three Laughing Gulls of various ages were observed
resting on the rock island below Smithland Dam.

The Corps of Engineers has continued to allow the
level of the lakes to rise, and shorebird habitat is
virtually non-existant. A few puddles at Jonathan
Creek on Kentucky Lake hosted about a dozen birds with
Pectoral and Least Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, and
Wilson's Snipe represented. 

With the exception of three Spotted Sandpipers, the
flats at Blood River, which ordinarily are teaming at
this time of year, were devoid of windbirds.  :o(
