Lake #9, Fulton, Co. Ky
After reading the email this morning about David Roemer finding the Spoonbill 
at Lake #9  I drove up to Phillippy first and checked out the mass of 300 Great 
Egrets and a lesser amount of Great Blue Herons and one Adult Little Blue 
Heron.  Scoped for a while with no luck and then drove up to Lake #9 and drove 
as far as I could into the field and to the lake....walked out and scoped for a 
while...not a lot of birds there.  Some Great Egrets and Great Blues.  Could 
not spot any pink anywhere...drove back to Phillippy after checking out a 
slough that has water and it was virtually empty of birds.....rechecked 
Phillippy and still no pink bird.....

My first Roseate Spoonbill was found here at Phillippy Pits by a group from the 
Memphis TOS on a field trip, I believe that was in 96. I am not sure now if 
that was a state first or not.  Might have been the 4th record...??

Awesome bird!
