I've been out a few hours on four dates since last Saturday -- all in 
the Brookville Lake area.  Concentrations of Bonaparte's Gulls at the 
Lake, especially on the mudflats off Whitewater State Park, some duck 
movement, a late PECTORAL SANDPIPER and concentrations of BLACK 
VULTURES  have been noteworthy.  I'm going to include some Brookville 
Lake records from Jay Stenger, Joe Bens and Jack Stenger for 21 
November for the Indiana archives.
