Chad Smith and I spent the day at Duck River NWR and various spots around Ky 
Lake and Lake Barkley

The best bird was a third year LBBG seen on Gull Island off Paris Landing
Also on the island were Herring, Ring-billed, and Bonaparte's Gulls, plus 4 A 
White Pelicans
A peregrine strafed the group and sent all airborne
While we were standing on the bridge, a Fish Crow called several times

Heard at various spots were Yellow-throated Warblers, a N Parula, and La 
Waterthrushes 

The largest concentration of pelicans was a group of 50 at the mouth of Big 
Sandy

Waterfowl seen included a raft of 15 Red-breasted Mergansers, many GW and BW 
Teals

The only shorebirds seen were Pectoral Sandpipers, Wilson's Snipe, and Killdeer

There were 6 Forster's Terns at Eagle Creek, with a large gull roost
