This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of May 7, 2004 at 6:00 AM EDT. The
highlights of this update are:
With migration in progress, the warblers top the interest chart this
week. Several reports of up 29 species in an outing have occurred in the
western part of the state; namely Land-between-the lakes, and Mammoth
Cave National Park . Most of the resident and common transient warblers
have been seen with the following highlight birds: GOLDEN-WINGED,
CHESTNUT-SIDED, MAGNOLIA (only one heard), CAPE MAY, BLACKBURNIAN, 2
BAY-BREASTED, BLACKPOLL, and CERULEAN. Of note, there has been no report
of an AMERICAN REDSTART yet.
Topping the shore bird list would be BLACK-NECKED STILTS. 7 were seen on
the 1st in Obion WMA, and a single bird was seen in Boone County on May
the 2nd. LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS were mentioned from 3 locations this
week, McElroy Lake, the Sloughs of Henderson, and Paradise steam plant.
McElroy also contained SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER,
RUDDY TURNSTONE, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, and DUNLIN. A
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER was also heard in Hickman Bottoms.
Camp Mines Complex in Union County held 2 PIPING PLOVERS, SORAS, 2
AMERICAN BITTERNS, 1 VIRGINIA RAIL, and a single DUNLIN. Another single
DUNLIN was seen in Paradise Basin; as well as CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, and
WHIP-POOR-WILL heard.
The Henderson sloughs gave up 3 KING RAILS (heard only), and at Kuttawa
10 WILLETS of the western race were observed on the 1st. MISSISSIPPI
KITES have been seen in the Hickman area as well as LBL. And the
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERS are building a nest on the same power pole
they nested on in 2002 in the Calvert City area.
In the eastern most portions of the state, VESPER SPARROWS top the list
from Pike County.
