We visited Reformatory Lake near Buckner this afternoon to find it completely ice-free. Most of the Canada geese were up on the hillsides with only a scattering of ducks on the lake itself. Ring- necked ducks by far outnumbered the others. Cackling geese (17) had great views of a group of 13 swimming alongside two Canada geese. Green-winged teal (15) N Shoveler (7) Greater scaup (3) Lesser scaup (5) Hooded merg (1) Bufflehead (2) Canvasback (2) Goldeneye (2) Ring-necked duck (75) Black duck (6) Mute swan (1) Mary and Ben Yandell 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
