Hardy Eshbaugh and I had a productive 4 1/2 hours at Brookville today 
(Saturday). There were lots of duck species visible on both sides of 
Dunlapsville Causeway, and also from Sagamore. We did not hit Whitewater or 
Fairfield Causeway. Interestingly, we got great views of 15 sandhill cranes, 
but not at the lake. They were in a farm field near Bath, IN on the way 
over--just after we got the red-headed woodpecker at the corner of Dare and 
Snowden Roads. In the following list, "X" means I didn't even try to count, 
in most cases because there were so many. Numbers, in most cases, are highly 
approximate.

Also, this morning in Silvoor Sanctuary I had a Brown Creeper, and at 4-mile 
creek in Western Woods my first Eastern Phoebe of the year.

Good birding
