I had an opportunity to swing by Morgan's Pond in southern Christian County
yesterday. Was surprised to find a small pool of water present, along with a
nice assemblage of birds:

Mallards (including two broods of young)
Canada Geese (4 broods)
1 male Blue-winged Teal
1 Semi Plover
Killdeer
1 male Black-necked Stilt
1 or 2 Spotted Sandpipers
40 Semi Sandpipers
40 White-rumped Sandpipers
1 Dunlin

The military is still keeping close tabs on this site (which I guess will
only last a few more days); if you visit the site, you may be visited by MPs
who ask you to move on??? I haven't looked into the situation since earlier
in the spring.  

At nearby Swallow Spring (on KY 107 N of I-24) there were:

1 ad and 1 juv Pied-billed Grebe
2 broods of Mallards
1 brood (8 chicks) of Blue-winged Teal with a ma' and pa'
