We have been birding seriously for some 11 years and have lived on Herrington Lake all that time. We have never seen a Merganser on the lake, until just now. A Common Merganser swam across the lake toward us, under the Chenault Bridge, and then booked on up the lake toward Bryant's Camp, diving periodically. We decided to post the sighting, because Herrington Lake birders need all the help they can get, to keep alive the hope of seeing any variety of birds on our water. -- Margaret & Bill Case, Garrard County ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
