Just a few updates ... Sandhill Crane numbers are increasing near Cecilia, Hardin County. Erin Harper with Ky. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources reports that there are now more than 8000 coming off the roosts there, so the next couple of weeks will probably be the best time for viewing this year. Ruthie the Rufous Hummingbird continues to do well in southern Scott County; Lori Hudson reported that she was visiting the feeder regularly a couple of days ago when she went by to check on her. A second Long-tailed Duck was reported a couple of days ago; this one was a male on Lower Douglas Lake, Ft. Knox. Hopefully February will bring some more. bpb, Louisville ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== When posting on BIRDKY, please close posts with your first and last name and your address (city or county). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post on BIRDKY, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS website at http://www.birdky.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS Photo Page to view photos of birds recently sighted in Kentucky: http://www.flickr.com/groups/kentucky_ornithological_society/pool * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison.
