This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of May 1, 2003 at 7:00 PM EDT. The
highlights of this update are: a Painted Bunting in Fulton County,
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in Livingston and Bourbon Counties, Marbled
Godwits in two (2) locations, and a White Ibis over Lake Barkley.
A Painted Bunting was observed singing in southwest Fulton County this
afternoon at about 6:00 PM CDT on April 30. The bird was observed again on
the morning of May 1, 2003 about 100 yards from the original location at the
intersection of hwy 94 and 1282 at the northwest corner of the Reelfoot
National Wildlife Refuge. The Delorme Atlas information for this location
is page 74 quadrant H-4.
A single White Ibis was observed on May 1, 2003 flying north along Lake
Barkley at about mile 40 on the navigation charts. The bird MAY be roosting
at the Kuttawa Egret Rookery Island and observers should be aware of this
potential.
A single Scissor-tailed Flycatcher was observed on KY 453 between Interstate
24 and US 62 a few miles north of Grand Rivers and Land Between the Lakes on
April 27th. The next day, 2 birds were observed at the same location. This
is the same location where a pair of birds nested last year near the
limestone quarry entrance. It is not presently known if this is the same
individual observed below Barkley Dam on April 20, 2003 near the restroom on
the east side of the Cumberland River.. The DeLorme Atlas coordinates for
this location are page 60, quadrant H-2.
The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher reported in Bourbon County on Sunday, was
observed again later that same day. Additional information obtained from
local residents indicates that Scissor-tailed Flycatchers have nested in
this general location for the past 3 years in a nearby Sycamore tree.
Directions to this location are posted on the April 27th update. The
location is on String-town Road, about ¾ mile north of its junction with the
Cane Ridge Road, east of Paris. The DeLorme Atlas information for this bird
is page 38 quadrant C-4.
On April 28th 2 Marbled Godwits were observed flying north over Lake
Barkley. These birds were not observed on the ground. However, 43 Willets
were observed on the jetty near the heron rookery island near Kuttawa in
Lyon County. On the same day, 2 Surf Scoters and 2 Franklin's Gulls were
observed above Kentucky Dam. American White Pelicans were observed in the
Barkley Dam area on April 27th.
On Saturday, April 26th, a single Marbled Godwit was observed at the Minor
Clark Fish Hatchery in Rowan County. This bird was between ponds 20 and 21.
It was reported to be difficult to find, but quite approachable. There is
no updated information on this individual.
