Today while birding for just an hour at sunset, I viewed a medium-sized raptor sitting in a tree. Looking through the scope I noted a female Merlin eating its dinner. I think this is the first Merlin I've seen perched in the county, and also the first I've seen here in 9 years. I've waited for that sight on the river for a long time, what a thrill! Also across the river a mute swan landed briefly and then dissappeared, leading me to believe it may have been wild. On an icthyological note, a South American Arowana, and an Asian Arowana were floating in a pile of debris behind Tumbleweed on River Road. Strange
Good birding, Michael Autin Louisville, KY _________________________________________________________________Get the latest Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta version. Join now. http://ideas.live.com
