Hunting pressure at McElroy Lake in Warren County
continues to be heavy, but a few ducks and geese
utilize the lake when the hunters are absent. One of
the hunters reported a Snow Goose taken recently, and
up to 1000 ducks, mostly Mallards, worked the area for
a couple of days.
Numbers of Lapland Longspurs have increased, with the
ratio of longspurs/larks being significantly higher
than last week. Warren County has also experienced a
tremendous influx of robins in the past week, with
several flocks numbering into the hundreds being
present in lawn/park situations feasting on the
earthworms brought out by the rain. Cedar Waxwings
were observed on two occasions recently after a
notable absence. The six Mute Swans which relocated
to Petros Pond due to hunting disturbance at McElroy
were still present as of this morning, Jan 6.
Chipping Sparrows are again overwintering and present
in my yard daily. Other highlights from the past few
days follow.

I headed to Ky/Barkley Dams this afternoon needing a
gull fix. The rain/snow and low-30s air temps (heat
distortion) rendered long-distance viewing impossible,
but a few nice birds were scratched out.
