This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of September 24, 2002 at 8:00 PM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:  Sabine's Gulls at Kentucky Dam, a report
of Red-necked Grebes at the Dix Power Plant, and a migration update.

Two (2) juvenile Sabine's Gulls have been observed on multiple occasions
above Kentucky Dam on Kentucky Lake near the Marshall/Livingston County
line.  The birds were most recently observed from the west pull off of the
dam on September 20th.  These birds are strictly migrants and may be leave
the area at any time.  All observations of this species should be documented
and sent to the Kentucky Bird Records Committee and reported promptly to
BIRDKY or The Kentucky Bird Line.  At least 1 Laughing Gull has also been
observed multiple times near Kentucky Dam within the last week.

Two Red-necked Grebes were reported at the Brown Power Plant in Mercer
County on September 18th.  Documentation is required on reports of this
species at any season.  As these individuals are out of season in the state,
all observations of these birds should be fully documented, preferably with
photos, and submitted to the Kentucky Bird Records Committee.  Few details
of these individuals are available except that they are apparently in
transition from breeding to winter plumage.

Migration is in full swing in the commonwealth with shorebird activity and
passerine activity at high levels.  Shorebird species of interest reported
from multiple locations included Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Sanderling, Baird'
s Sandpiper, and many others.  Passerine species of interest included
American Redstart, Mourning Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Gray-cheeked Thrush,
Veery, Yellow-throated Warbler, Warbling Vireo, Summer Tanager, Scarlet
Tanager, and many others.

Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line.  You may leave a report after the
tone.  Please include your name, the date, the location, and the time of
your observation when filing a report.  If your report contains rare or out
of season species, please send appropriate documentation to the
