A good number of bird observations  have been  posted in the last week,

several people in Mammoth Cave Park. Also included in that outing were

BAR-BREASTED WARBLER, and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK.

 

A LECONTE'S SPARROW, MARSH WREN, SWAMP SPARROW, and NELSON'S
SHARP-TAILED SPARROW were all seen in the last week at Hayes-Kennedy
Park in Louisville. This is on Bass Avenue off of River Road. Only the
sharp-tailed sparrow was seen in the weedy ditch that runs through the
park on the last posting of the 16th. 

 

Other arrivals include 100 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS and 2 FRANKLIN'S
GULLS at Kuttawa in the LBL area. And GADWALL, 1 NORTHERN PINTAIL,
NORTHERN SHOVELER, and STILT SANDPIPER, along with other water fowl and
shore birds at Jonathon Creek mud flats.

 

Other migrants and late departers include: a female GOLDEN-WINGED
WARBLER seen on the 15th in Pulaski Co. Park;  a female SUMMER TANAGER
still present at Murray over the weekend; RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH,
