Red Headed Ducks and American Coot

Was by the Laurel County Library Ponds this morning and saw two male red headed ducks and an american coot on the pond.  How beautiful.   Also saw several 6 bluebirds, a mockingbird, and 20 crows.   If you're by the library they were there today and yesterday so there's a chance they'll be there for a little while.  They are well worth the time to see.   

A fellow bird lover, Ed Talbott, of Richmond,  reported for his trip to Lake Reba, in Richmond, Kentucky, a Snow Goose, Bubblehead Duck, Hooded Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, Northern Shoveler, Ruddy Ducks and Lesser Scaup as well as Canada Geese, Coots and Mallards on January 22, 2011.  

He also counted 107 ruddy ducks, 2 bufflehead, lots of coots, several mallards and 25 + pie billed grebes and a single ring-billed gull on January 25th, with 75% of the lake covered with ice. 

So if you're in the area, these are great places to stop and enjoy.
