FYI for places to stay at Carlyle Lake: Below is a list of motels/hotels within 50 miles of Carlyle Lake Of course the two at Carlyle are the closest (Super 8 and Microtel) Then Greenville, IL off of I-70 would be next. If coming from the west, O'Fallon, IL along I-64 will have the most choices, but farther away. http://www.illinois.com/searchResults.php?mode=browse&cityFips=1735398&cat=126 Hope the fog lifts and is not an issue the rest of the week!! Good chasing, Charlene Malone St. Louis co. P.S. Re: the evening GULL ROOST at Carlyle From Dan Kassebaum: "The bigger gulls are likely to be near the dam, but the rafts of ducks seem to be a factor as well" From me: the gulls on Sunday were really harassing the goldeneyes &.mergs so look through those groups too......If they can be seen from the shore!. __________________________________________________ ########################################################### * Audubon Society of Missouri's * * Wild Bird Discussion Forum * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To subscribe or unsubscribe, click here: * * https://po.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mobirds-l&A=1 * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To access the list archives, click here: * * http://po.missouri.edu/archives/mobirds-l.html * * * * To access the Audubon Society of Missouri Web * * Site: http://mobirds.org * ###########################################################
