The UPSP's have been scarce this year with only 4 being seen. However, a 
juvenile showed up at the turn around on Industry Parkway Friday.
Other sightings from the area include Trumpterer Swans in the lakes on the 
same road for the last 4 weeks. Spotted sanpiper hatchlings are also 
running around local lakes.
As a follow up to the Mergs heard on Brushy Fork just before their safe 
date, a canoe trip down the creek two weeks later turned none up no 
sightings.
A May 28th canoe trip down Cross Creek in Jefferson County turned up a 
Blackburnian but a recheck after the safe date was negative. Although I 
did see two 15# plus snapping turtles copulating.  Scott Pendleton
