According to area manager, Charlie Wilkins, within the past week there were apparently 2000-2500 American White Pelicans on Mitchell Lake, Ballard WMA! Unfortunately they have apparently moved on. This is by far a new record count for KY. And to think I chased a flock of 7 up the Ohio River above Smithland Dam in April of 1992 just to try to get a photo of what was then the largest "flock" I had ever seen in the state! bpb, Louisville ================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
