This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of January 17, 2005 at 12:00 PM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:

 

The warm spell that kicked the year off had daffodils poking through, a
black snake making an appearance at Rough River, and apparently had SNOW
GEESE and SANDHILL CRANES moving northward. There were several reports
of SANDHILL CRANES, from Edmonson and Warren Counties, that were flying
either north, or south, or on the ground. Outside the state, several
thousand SNOW GEESE were reported from southern Illinois.

 

2 reports included SHORT-EARED OWLS. 2 birds were seen in the homestead
unit of Peabody WMA, and 1 was reported from Madison County, SSE of
Richmond, on the 16th. Other birds of prey reported were 14 NORTHERN
HARRIERS, and 1 light morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK that were also seen in
Peabody WMA.

 

Water fowl of interest were 20 REDHEADS, 3 MUTE SWAN, and 3 GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GEESE seen on Petros Pond on the 16th. Also 5 CACKLING
GEESE were at Griffin Park. 8 MUTE SWAN were also observed from Peabody,
and 10 more from along Homer Murray Road near Woodburn in Warren County.

 

Also in the field of view were a couple wintering birds that have been
scarce this year. 3 CEDAR WAXWING were observed at the Minor Clark Fish
Hatchery, and several reports of YELLOW-RUMPS WARBLERS were made,
including a dozen or so from the Lewis County WMA on the Ohio River.
Finally, a single RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH was seen at Cave Run Lake.
