This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of November 8, 2004 at 11:00 AM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:

 

The first reports of SANDHILL CRANES have come in this week. On the 6th
approximately 150 birds were counted in eastern Jefferson County, 200
plus were counted in Green River Lake area, and another 33 in Adair
County.

 

There is still a number of shore birds being reported from the usual
areas, but the majority of the reports this week center around water
fowl. Highlights of these would include COMMON LOONS seen in good
numbers across the state. 28 were counted in the Land Between the Lakes
area, 23 on Green River Lake, 25 on Lake Pewee, and smaller numbers from
Lake Cumberland, and Barren Reservoir.  RING-NECKED DUCKS were in number
with 130 counted at Lake Pewee, over 100 at Barren Reservoir, and a few
from Cave Run lake. A single WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was viewed on the 6th
at Conley Bottom Resort, Lake Cumberland. A single ROSS'S GOOSE was
reported form Peabody WMA, Union Hill Road area. HORNED GREBE were
viewed both on Green river Lake and Lake Cumberland. An EARED GREBE was
seen at the Waitsboro recreation area, Lake Cumberland on the 5th. 2
SURF SCOTERS were observed in Wayne County on Lake Cumberland. And a
single AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was photograghed at the Minor Clark Fish
Hatchery on the 6th.

 

BONAPARTES GULLS are being seen in the likely places, and a single adult
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was noted at the Kentucky Dam Marina.

 

At a feeder in Murrray 2 RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES were added to the ever
growing reports on that bird. "A large flock" of LAPLAND LONGSPURS were
seen mixing with AMERICAN PIPITS and HORNED LARK at the Spindletop Farm
in northern Fayette County, and a large number of CEDAR WAXWINGS were
reported from a Lexington backyard.

 

In the lingering category would be a CAPE MAY WARBLER seen on the 2nd in
Burlington; a BLUE-HEADED VIREO seen in Woodburn (Warren county) on the
2nd also, and the SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRD still present in Bowling
Green.
