The Bowling Green CBC was conducted today, and although I don't have totals from the other parties I will report highlights from the southern part of the circle which I covered. Lack of water in the transient lakes resulted in the only waterfowl recorded being at Griffin Park. The Cackling Geese which were present on the 18th were absent today. Species of note observed were American Black, Pintail, Gadwall, Bufflehead, Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked, and Ruddy. Fifteen Red-tailed Hawks were recorded with at least four being western-type birds, including the light-morph harlani and his mate wintering on the WKU farm (his 5th winter there). Others included a calurus x krideri intergrade at McElroy Lake area(dry) which was present there last winter, and a calurus x borealis or krideri also present on the WKU farm. Really intersting birds. Additional highlights: Loggerhead Shrike (1) Chipping Sparrow (3 in my yard) Savannah Sparrow (84 with 65 at the WKU Farm) Lapland Longspur (4) I spent yesterday afternoon in Larue County with Lyn and Brooks Atherton photographing birds. Species of note observed were Loggerhead Shrike, Palm Warbler (4-6), and migrating Sandhill Cranes (175-200 with all but 18 in one flock). David L.
