Visiting birder Mike Resch was in the LBL area working
on his Kentucky list on December 13. Since he isn't
subscribed to the listserve I am posting the results
of his trip for him. Mike birded Kentucky and
Smithland Dams and Lake Barkley from Kuttawa to the
dam.

White Pelican - 10-15, mostly from Kuttawa
Gadwall - several flocks of 20+ birds
Scaup - many thousands, especially at Kuttawa and

Bonaparte's Gulls - 500+, most visible from Kuttawa

fair amount of time looking for rarities in with them
Ring-billed Gulls - many, many birds

PURPLE FINCH - 3 in daylight at spot where I had the
GH Owl. When I stopped there in the pre-dawn I
noticed a tulip tree loaded with seeds. I remembered
from my years living in MD that they like to feed on
tulip seeds in winter, so I mentioned to myself that I
should check out this spot in the daylight to try for
purple finches. And sure enough, there were 3 there
when I returned in the early morning.
