14 May 2011:
 

I visited KY 739 Transient Pond earlier today and found that the water had
risen even more since my last visit.  I was amazed.  As it began to shower
(a little cold for me) I packed up and left before doing much observation.
However, I did observe 4 Mallards and ~30 American Coots.  I noted that the
water was apparently near peak, but not dropping an my brief visit produced
no shorebirds other than killdeer.

 

At nearby "wet spot" occupying less than an acre, I observed ~ 20 Lesser
Yellowlegs, ~10 Least Sandpipers, and 2 Dunlin.  While there, I heard my FOS
Grasshopper Sparrow.

 

That concludes this report.
