Shore lake - Boone county
One of my stops today was at a Boone County Lake I discovered this summer.
It's "Shore Lake" off US 25 south of Florence.  I had just gotten there when
the first wave of Canada Geese flew in and a Snow Goose was with them.

Marydale/Catholic Center - Boone County
I've spent the last few days birding there.
Birds seen:
Nashville Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Eastern Phoebe
Cedar Waxwings
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Many Cardinals, Robins, and Bluejays
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Tuesday) at the feeder across the street at my
school.

Backyard
In the spring I had a Red-headed Woodpecker show up during a bad storm.   He
feasted on the peanuts that I put out for him at the feeder for several days
and then left for about a week.  He then returned and mid summer I
discovered there were two.  And....as had hoped....there is now a youngster
in the backyard. 


Minor Clark Fish Hatchery
I visited the fish hatchery last Sunday.
7 Pectoral Sandpipers
7 Killdeer
Many Yellow-rumped Warblers
Palm Warblers
Cedar Waxwings
Osprey
Pileated Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
2 Blue Winged Teal
5 Pied-billed Grebes
Blue Morph Snow Goose (this one is pretty spotchy in color and the one last
year was solid blue)
Eastern Bluebirds

I have finally gotten around to working on the images that I've taken over
the past week or so and have added images to Minor Clark and started a new
page for the fall.

For some reason mac.com has been incredibly slow tonight in updating the
pages so if you're interested and don't have any luck getting in tonight,
you might give it a try tomorrow.
