The highlights of this update are: additional Scissor-tailed Flycatchers at Barkley Dam, Bachman's Sparrow in Calloway County, and a Mississippi Kite nest at the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge. A new pair or Scissor-tailed Flycatchers was located on June 29th below Barkley Dam in Livingston and Lyon Counties. The flycatchers were located on the east side of the Cumberland River in Lyon County and are about 1-2 miles away from the pair in Livingston County previously reported on KY 453. The original Scissor-tailed Flycatchers were present as well near their abandoned nest including the 5 fledglings. On July 4th, the birds at Barkley Dam were observed again while the KY 453 birds could not be found. Also 0n June 29, a Bachman's Sparrow was heard singing at the location described on the previous edition of the KBL. This time the bird was not recorded visually. This location is north of Hamlin in southeastern Calloway County, and is just south of the Blood River embayment of Kentucky Lake. On June 30th, a Mississippi Kite nest was located on the Long Point Unit of the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge in Fulton County. The exact location of the nest is not available to the Kentucky Bird Line. A single Lesser Yellowlegs was observed on the same day in the same general area. Several species of resident warblers were observed at Bee Rock Recreation Area in east central Pulaski County on June 30th. 10 species of warbler were reported from the area highlighted by 15 Black-throated Green Warblers, 13 Worm-eating Warblers, 4 Swainson's Warblers, and 35 Hooded Warblers. Other species observed there included 5 Acadian Flycatchers, 2 Blue-headed Vireos, and 7 Scarlet Tanagers. 4 Spotted Sandpipers, including 3 birds of the year, were observed at Clifty Pont in Pulaski County on July 3rd and a female Blue-winged Teal with ducklings were observed at a nearly dry McElroy Lake in Warren County on June 30th.
