>> This past Sunday Ben and I birded several hours in the area.
>>
>> Mixed groups of green-winged teal, gadwall, pintails (largest
>> number at Lake #9), shovelers, American wigeon and several hooded
>> mergs. were found at a number of stops. Adult and juvenile bald
>> eagles soared over Long Point. A very distant eagle may have been a
>> golden (smaller, very dark bird with white tail and dark terminal
>> band) but we did not get definitive looks for confirmation. And,
>> while there were no geese at Long Point, we found a mixed flock of
>> snow geese (blue and snow - 500), greater white-fronted geese
>> (1,000) and 3+ Ross's geese in a field along Midway Church Road.
>> Other highlights included 3 greater yellowlegs and 2 loggerhead
>> shrikes (one near Sassafras Ridge; second on KY-971, chasing after
>> a mockingbird while making its shrike calls). There were also
>> southern leopard frogs, upland chorus frogs and spring peepers
>> calling.
