This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of October 21, 2002 at 3:00 PM EDT.  The
highlight of this update is a Red-necked Phalarope at McElroy Lake in Warren
County.
 
A Red-necked Phalarope dropped off at McElroy Lake in Warren County on
October 14th.  There has been no further report on this individual.  McElroy
Lake now contains significant water and is attracting shorebirds, waterfowl,
and other species.  Recently, 12 species of migrant shorebird have been
reported there including the American Golden Plover, Black-bellied Plover,
Semipalmated Plover, Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral
Sandpiper, over 50 Dunlin, Stilt Sandpiper, Long-billed Dowitcher, and about
20 Wilson's Snipe (formerly Common Snipe).  Other species of note reported
recently from McElroy Lake include 50+ American Pipits, Northern Pintail,
Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler, Ring-billed Gull, Forrester's
Tern, Peregrine Falcon, American Bittern, and Sora.  The Delorme Atlas
coordinates for this location are, page 81, quadrant B-7.
 
Kentucky and Barkley Dams have also produced some highlights over the past
week.  On October 14th, 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 2 Laughing Gulls, 4
Franklin's Gulls, and 1 Common Tern were observed at Kentucky Dam.  On
October 11th, A Common Merganser, 2 Laughing Gulls, & 6 Franklin's Gulls,
were located above Kentucky Dam.  At least 2 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers
remained below Barkley Dam on the same date and 13 Common Terns were
observed below Smithland Dam, in Livingston County.  Meanwhile, the Blood
River embayment of Kentucky Lake (Calloway County) produced Pied-billed
Grebe, Horned Grebe, Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, and American
Wigeon earlier in the week.
 
Late migrant warblers and other passerines continue to be reported from
across the state.  These species include Tennessee Warbler, Magnolia
Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Orange-crowned
Warbler, Palm Warbler, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Pine Siskin,
Scarlet Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
 
Finally, winter resident species are beginning to arrive in number.
White-throated Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, Brown Creeper,
Yellow-breasted Sapsucker, Dark-eyed Junco, Savannah Sparrow, Winter Wren,
Golden-crowned kinglet, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet have all been reported
since the last update of the Kentucky Bird Line.
