Roseanna Denton and I covered the Green River Lake portion of the circle.
Yesterday was certainly a day of changing moods ... cloudy and warm in the
morning; downright warm and windy after that, followed by a relatively brief
thunderstorm with pea-sized hail that covered the ground, then getting
windier and colder, first with sun, then with thickening clouds before day's
end. The lake, itself was about as devoid of waterfowl as we've ever seen
it in winter, although we did find a few Common Loons and Horned Grebes
along with a lone drake Greater Scaup. Most of the count's waterfowl will
come from the Campbellsville City Lake, where a nice variety of divers was
present including a couple more Greater Scaup. The Canada Geese had two nice
little Cacklers with them there, too. Landbird highlights for our party were
a Blue-headed Vireo (a second winter record) near the dam and a flock of at
least SIXTY Purple Finches at the state park campground eating ash seeds.
Eagles were down with only two seen.
