Highlights:
Wood Tract at Sauerheber along KY 268: 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 6-8 Least
Sandpipers, 10 Pectoral Sandpipers, 5 Dunlin. Nice array of common waterfowl
including at least 110 Northern Pintail. No geese or swans.
Horseshoe Road Slough (you have to take *great* care not to frighten the
waterfowl here -- and everywhere for that matter ... we parked down the road
and eased back on foot until everybody got nervous): 118 Tundra Swans; 500?
Snow Geese; at least 2 Ross's Geese; 75 Greater White-fronted Geese; common
dabblers; a few Lapland Longspurs.
Elsewhere in county: several nice groups of dabblers in traditional sloughs
including along J. Dance Road and West Franklin Road. Probably at least 350
Northern Pintail seen total; several Redheads, 50-75 American Wigeon. One to a
few Tree Swallows at a few places.
