This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of April 22, 2003 at 11:00 PM EDT. The
highlights of this update are: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher below Barkley Dam,
Upland Sandpiper in Barren County, and spring migration reports.
A single Scissor-tailed Flycatcher was observed below Barkley Dam on April
20, 2003. The bird was observed near the restroom on the east side of the
Cumberland River below the dam. This is the same general area where a pair
of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers raised at least one (1) brood last year.
An Upland Sandpiper was observed in northeastern Barren County on April 14,
2003. No other details are available for this individual.
Spring migration is picking up steam with many species reported for the
first time this week. A partial list these species includes Caspian Tern,
Chuck-Will-Widow, Cliff Swallow, Eastern Kingbird, House Wren, Warbling
Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Philadelphia Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Wood Thrush,
Blue-winged Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, Nashville Warbler,
Yellow-throated Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Prothonotary Warbler, Ovenbird,
Worm-eating Warbler, Summer Tanager, Scarlet Tanager, Orchard Oriole,
Baltimore Oriole, and Blue Grosbeak. Most of these species have been
reported from a variety of locations from across the state.
Shorebirds continue to move through the state. On April 19, eight (8)
species of shorebird were observed at the Sloughs WMA including 225 Lesser
Yellowlegs and 65 Greater Yellowlegs. Soras were also noted that day. On
April 22, Clifty Pond in Pulaski County hosted five (5) species of common
shorebird including unspecified numbers of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs,
Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, and Wilson's Snipe. Morgan's Pond in
Christian County continued to hold some water as of April 16 and hosted
seven species of shorebird including unspecified numbers of Dunlin. Three
(3) other species of shorebird were in the general area including
Semipalmated Plover. Also on April 16 at the Obion WMA in Fulton County, a
Stilt Sandpiper, a Short-billed Dowitcher and about 400 common shorebirds
were present.
Other birds of interest reported this week include 2 American Bitterns at
Chaney Lake in Warren County, about 75 American White Pelicans above Barkley
Dam, and unspecified numbers of Great Egret, Cattle Egret, Snowy Egret, and
Little Blue Heron at the Kuttawa rookery island in Lake Barkley.
