This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of February 15, 2005 at 3:00 PM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:
 
The BULLOCK'S ORIOLE is still present in Lawrenceburg as of this Tuesday
Morning February 15. Please call the Riddles the night before prior to
visiting their yard (the phone is 502-839-4612) Directions are as
follows:
 
From the jct. of Old US 127 and US 62 in downtown
Lawrenceburg, go 1.1 miles east on US 62 (over RR tracks and beyond
intersection with gas/food marts) to Starhill Road on the left (brick
entrance walls). Take a left on Starhill and go past the first
chain link-fenced in yard to the next yard that tends up a gradual
incline to
a gray stone house with white garage/carports. This is the second lot on
Starhill, but the house is up on the next street (Mackland). Parking is
better here along Starhill; pull safely off to the right side somewhere
in
the vicinity of the weedy patch with several small willow trees. You can
see
the feeders in the back yard of the Riddle's home. Approach slowly and
watch
the feeders and trees in the yard. The bird frequents both sunflower and
suet feeders, as well as oranges that have been cut in half and placed
on
the ground.
 
Other reports this week included an outing to the Homestead unit of the
Peabody WMA on the 12th. Highlights included: 4 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, 4
SHORT-EARED OWLS, a BARRED OWL, AMERICAN PIPITS, LAPLAND LONGSPURS, and
PURPLE FINCHES.
 
Also on the 12th, from the Saurhaber unit of the sloughs in Henderson,
were 6 TUNDRA SWANS, a WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, a SNOW GOOSE,  COMMON
GOLDENEYE, and a FOX SPARROW. 
 
109 REDHEADS were counted at Waitsboro on Lake Cumberland on the 13th;
viewed at the Ballard WMA on the 11th were: 12 WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, 50
SNOW GEESE, 40 GADWALL, and 2 WOOD DUCK. On the 10th and 11th near
Cecilia in Hardin County 100 plus SANDHILL CRANES were seen on the
ground feeding.
 
Lastly, a first for the year, an AMERICAN WOODCOCK in flight display was
reported on the 10th near Ragland.
