[birdky] RPT: KOS spring meeting weekend highlights

Nearly 75 members and guests attended this weekend's Ky Ornithological Society 
spring meeting at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. Just over 100 species 
were tallied on the weekend with waterbirds in short supply in that area. There 
were MANY forest songbirds around, but almost all of them were nesters ... but 
no one was complaining about the abundance of tanagers, vireos, and warblers 
(including Hoodeds, Worm-eatings, Black-and-whites, etc.). Blackpoll, 
Chestnut-sided, and Blackburnian were probably the most interesting migrant 
warbler species encountered. A Swainson's Warbler was reported along Trail 12 
in the park. This morning, 15-20 of us visited a Golden-winged Warbler breeding 
study site about 35-40 minutes southeast of Cumberland Falls in Whitley County 
and were treated to nice scope views of singing males in treetops, in addition 
to a male Brewster's Warbler.
