This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of August 8, 2005 at 11:00 AM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:
Hello. Some late summer wandering seems to be taking place. The dry
conditions have limited the habitat for shore birds and waders, but
where it exist there have been some good sightings. In Fulton County's
lower Hickman bottoms a juvenile WHITE IBIS, and a juvenile TRICOLORED
HERON were spotted on the 4th of August on pond# 9. The TRICOLORED HERON
has been seen through the 7th, but the IBIS has not been seen again.
Also at this location on the 4th a fly-over ROSEATE SPOONBILL was
observed; first flying north then later south and not relocated since. A
ROSEATE SPOONBILL had been seen a few days early just south of the
Kentucky border on Reel Foot Lake.
In addition, a single juvenile LITTLE BLUE HERON has been seen as late
as the 6th at the Minor Clark Fish Hatchery of Rowan County; not a
common sight that far east in Kentucky.
