This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of  November 18, 2004 at 4:00 PM
EDT.  The highlights of this update are:

 

On the 13th a juvenile NORTHERN SHRIKE was seen on the Peabody WMA.
Video was taken. The following is the directions given:

 

From exit 58 on the Western Ky Parkway at Central City take hwy 431 to
Drakesboro.  Turn left at Drakesboro on 176.  Continue for probably a
couple of miles to the first gravel haul road to the right.  This is
just past a lake on the right and just before an overpass.  Turn right
on this gravel road and take an immediate right.  Follow this gravel
road up the hill and bear
to the right at intersections a couple of times until you reach the
intersection with S2 on the hilltop,
this will be the highest point in the area.  Not sure if there is a post
with S2 marked here, but turn left on S2.  You will then come to a
gravel road to the right with a marker S5.  The shrike was observed
within a few hundred yards of this intersection along S5 on the hillside
to the right of the road. You must have a permit for this area which can
be bought at several local stores, and anywhere that sells hunting
license. It is hunting season, so wear orange. The bird has not been
seen since the 13th, but they apparently have large winter territories,
and could still be around.
 
 A single SNOW BUNTING was also seen in the area.
Other notable sightings would include 19 BREWER'S BLACKBIRDS , 2
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES, and a PINE WARBLER on the WKY Farm in Warren
Co. A single BLUE-HEADED VIREO and a NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL  at Little
Lick in Pulaski County. An adult THAYER'S GULL, and 3 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULL at Barkley Dam. And a LAUGHING GULL at Kentucky Dam.
