This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of May 2, 2005 at 11:00 AM EDT.  The
highlights of this update are:
 
A single WESTERN GREBE was observed in the north-east corner of Lake
Barkley on Sunday May 1st.  It was visible from Green Turtle Bay but was
likely much closer to the campground on the eastern side.
 
A LARK SPARROW was seen in Ragland on the 28th, but has apparently not
been seen since.
 
A HENSLOW'S SPARROW was reported from  "south-east Lexington" on the
29th, but has also not been reported on since. 
 
Migrating birds mentioned for the first time this year were
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER which has returned to its nesting site on
highway 453 near Grand Rivers, YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO from Shawnee Park in
Louisville, and AMERICAN REDSTART from Pike County. 
 
Species mentioned that have not yet left for the summer included 9 PINE
SISKIN still visiting feeders in Calloway County, "lots" of RED-BREASTED
NUTHATCH in the Lexington Cemetery in Fayette County, and RUBY-CROWNED
KINGLET from several spots across Kentucky.
 
The most mentioned birds of the week were ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, and
GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHERS, both mentioned from numerous locales across
the state.
