Thanks Jim, I went out there this afternoon and did find the
pelicans. Everyone was talking about them. Lovely. First in the state sighting
for me.

> Today at Dyson Ditch the usual abundance of Canadian geese and a variety of
> ducks (Including a couple dozen Canvasbacks) and gulls were present and quite
> active. Also 4 groups of Sandhill Cranes, consisting of 200-300+ total, flew
> over headed north. That's a lovely sound. An adult bald eagle was perched
> in the vicinity of the Pardue Pond eagle nest. This is on the south side of
> the Cumberland River near the inlet to the Dyson Ditch WR. The abandoned
> Eagle Pass nest in Dyson Ditch WR is gone, a casualty of February's ice
> storms.
> 40-50 American White Pelicans were resting throughout the back water area. A
> red-shouldered and a broad-winged hawk were seen too.
> The snow has melted and the Best viewing is from the Cumberland River
> Bicentennial Trail via the Eagle Pass trail head off of Chapmansboro Rd.
