Catching up on posting some observations from the past week. Jon Dunn and I tallied about 26 spp of warblers in the LBL area on May 8th; it was VERY breezy, but song was still good. As previously reported, the Pacific Loon was still above Ky Dam. There were also at least 2 Common Terns and 2 adult Laughing Gulls (maybe three) around the dam area. We tallied 16 spp of shorebirds at McElroy Lake on May 9th: Blk-bellied Plover (1); Semipalmated Plover (150+); Killdeer; Gr Yellowlegs (2+); Lesser Yellowlegs (100+); Spotted Spiper; Solitary Spiper; Least Spiper (150-200); Semi Spiper (5+); White-rumped Spiper (5+); Pectoral Spiper (35-40+); Stilt Spiper (1); Dunlin (15-20); Short-billed Dowitcher (27); Long-billed Dowitcher (1-called); Wilson's Phalarope (1 male); 13 Black Terns. Has anyone been by to see if water has remained or returned??? May 11th in Louisville; warblers were harder to find with much less song than in Land Between the Lakes; heard a Canada and heard and saw an Olive-sided Flycatcher. bpb, Louisville brainard.palmer-ball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
