This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of September 3, 2004 at 12:00 PM
EDT. The highlights of this update are:
The LONG-TAILED JAEGER is still the subject of choice. It has been
present since last weekend above Kentucky Dam. "It spent most of the day
a good mile above the dam, and a lot of patience may be needed to find
it. Keep scanning the water for the sitting bird, and the tree line and
sky above the tree line for the flying bird. It appears dark whether
flying or on the water. It was seen chasing gulls several times, and as
of mid-afternoon it was resting on the water well over a
mile above the dam toward the western side of the lake."
Other notes of interest are the usual migrants. At the Camp Mines
Complex in Union County 9 AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS were seen along with 1
RUDDY TURNSTONE, 5 BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, and 1 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER. A
single juvenile COMMON MOORHEN was also seen there.
Mitchell Lake turned up 3 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, and 50 LEAST TERNS.
On the Eddy Creek mudflats east of KY 730 in Lyon County 8 BAIRD'S
SANDPIPER, and a single STILT SANDPIPER were viewed. A single BAIRD'S
was also seen on Blood River.
Warblers are becoming more numerous. In Tom Sawyer State Park in
Jefferson County BLACKBURNIAN, PRAIRIE, BLUE-WINGED, and CANADA WARBLERS
were noted this week. Other residential birding in Jefferson included
AMERICAN REDSTART, MAGNOLIA, NASHVILLE BLACK-THROATED GREEN,
CHESTNUT-SIDED, and BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS. Good birding.
