Sunday, Sept. 23/Land Between the Lakes
Boyd's Landing highlights:
Adult Lesser Black-backed Gull on water in company of a Ring-billed Gull.
Also, 50 distant scaup spp., 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches, and 6 American
White Pelicans.
Kentucky Dam/Lighthouse Landing:
We watched as 50+ Broad-winged Hawks thermalled up (from roost site in the
area?) north of the cell tower and streamed south. Not sure how many were
in the group; the hawks were still appearing when we left.
Saturday, Sept. 22
We found Fulton County very dry and fairly bird-less. We did see a skein of
250-300 DC Cormorants from the entrance road to Obion. Later at a
vegetation-overgrown Lake #9, saw several high-flying lines of American
White Pelicans (350+ total birds) headed towards the Mississippi.
The Army Corp. is hard at work on a series of levee "relief wells" along
Sutton Road east of boat ramp 8. We also saw a backhoe working to remove a
line of trees, making its way back and forth through a blanket of smoke from
a burning brush pile.
