This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological

BALD EAGLE, DUNLIN, and AMERICAN PIPITS were mentioned.

 

In Fayette County: at Spindle top LINCOLN'S SPARROW, and RUBY-CROWNED
KINGLETS were seen. At Raven's Run both KINGLETS, and a WINTER WREN were
observed. And in a Lexington backyard a female RUFOUS HUMMIINBIRD has
been hanging around for 2 weeks, and a BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER was also
