["Craig Carver" <ccarver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today while tramping around the "mountains" near the Red River Gorge, in 
addition to the usual Winter residents (Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Wrens, Juncos, 
Chickadees, Titmice, Blue Birds), I saw an Eastern Phoebe!  Can Spring be far 
away?!
Which brings me to my question to all you long-time Kentucky birders (I'm a 
relatively new resident to this fair commonwealth): where are the best places 
to see the Spring migration, especially warblers?  From the migration maps I've 
seen, it looks like Kentucky is very well-placed to receive the influx from 
Texas and Louisiana.  I have yet to see the state's warbler namesake, and am 
looking forward to seeing the migrants passing through to northern climes.  If 
mid-April is the peak migration period for coastal south Texas, then what is it 
for Kentucky?

Thanks,
