The highlights of this update are:

 

There have been several reports this week of warbler migration.
Jefferson County had notable sightings of BLACKBURNIAN, MAGNOLIA, and
AMERICAN REDSTART from Tom Sawyer Park; CHESTNUT-SIDED was added at
Shawnee Park,  and  CERULEAN, NASHVILLE, and CANADA WARBLERS were noted
at Caperton Swamp. In Science Hill, Pulaski County CANADA and
CHESTNUT-SIDED were again mentioned; and AMERICAN REDSTART was also seen
in Boone County at Gunpowder Creek Nature Park.

 

Numerous shorebirds were seen with most reports from LBL and parts west.
Most likely species are being found in the usual spots including 50 plus
WESTERN SANDPIPERS, and 50 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER in Ballard and
Carlisle Counties, and a single SANDERLING and 3 WILSON'S PHALAROPE on
the Mississippi at the Town Creek Unit. 4 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER were
observed on Lake Barkley at Little River.  And at the Falls of the Ohio
2 STILT SANDPIPERS were seen.

 

In addition, migrating empidonax were observed in more than one location
with LEAST FLYCATCHER being the guessed species everytime. The gathering
gulls at LBL included a single LAUGHING GULL. Large numbers of CASPIAN
TERN  and a COMMON LOON were mentioned from there as well. A good number
of LEAST TERN and thousands of swallows were noted on the Mississippi.
And 2 SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERS were seen at the bison viewing area at
LBL.
