This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of November 25, 2005 at 7:00 AM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:
On Tuesday the 22nd large numbers of SANDHILL CRANES were seen in the
Frankfort and Lexington areas. "hundreds" were viewed on the ground just
north of Versailles at the junction of us 60 and 62. Also, the WHOPPING
CRANES that are lead by the ultra light planes made their way through
Kentucky this past week.
Three RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS were banded in Kentucky this week; one each
from the Georgetown, eastern Shelby County, and northern Jessamine
County areas. Another was seen at a feeder in Owensboro.
On the 20th 53 BREWER'S BLACKBIRDS were seen west of Paducah on highway
310, and a single FOX SPARROW was observed at the Minor Clark Fish
Hatchery. PURPLE FINCHES were reported twice, from the Sloughs of
Henderson, and a back yard feeder in South Williamson, where a
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH was also noted. Plenty of waterfowl were mentioned
with nothing unusual showing up.
