[birdky] RPT: Long-eared Owls in Boyle County

Via a roundabout path, Lexington birder Dave Svetich recently learned of
the presence of four Long-eared Owls roosting in the yard of Mr. Kirtley
Settles, 3553 Old Shakertown Road, north of Danville in northeastern
Boyle County. I believe KY 33 is "Old Shakertown Road", but I am not
positive. This is on the KY Gazetteer, page 71, Block D-7; Mr. Settles
lives on the west side of KY 33 north of the jct. with Buster Pike (I
think). The birds can be spooked from the roost tree easily, but Mr.
Settles is willing to allow birders to see the owls by arrangement with
him via phone (859-236-5032). The birds have been seen by several KOS
members. Please visit only after talking with Mr. Settles.
