This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of July 15, 2002 at 10:00 PM EDT. The
highlights of this update are: a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher nest at Barkley
Dam, early fall migrants, and Eurasian Collared-Doves in Shelby County.
The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher pair located previously at Barkley Dam in Lyon
County, have been confirmed to have a nest. The pair has been observed
feeding around the nest area for several days and was most recently reported
on July 13th. The nest is located in a utility tower below the dam on the
west side of the Cumberland River. To date, no young have been observed in
the nest.
Fall migration and post breeding dispersal has begun for several species.
Both Caspian and Forster's Terns are now reported on small numbers from a
variety of locations on Kentucky Lake and the Ohio River; 120 American White
Pelicans were observed July 15th on the Mississippi River, and several
species of shorebirds have been observed at Morgan's Pond in Christian
County. Shorebird species observed include: American Golden Plover, Least
Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Greater Yellowlegs,
Solitary Sandpiper, and Spotted Sandpiper. It has also been noted that
wading bird breeding colonies are showing reduced numbers as post-breeding
dispersal occurs.
Eurasian Collared-Doves have been located in yet another Kentucky location.
The latest find is in Shelby County, about 35 miles northeast of Louisville.
It is one of only a few observations of this species east of Interstate 65.
At present 2 birds are known to be present and have been observed gathering
nesting material. Meanwhile, Franklin's population of Eurasian
Collared-Doves recorded an new high count of 10 individuals earlier this
week.
Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line. You may leave a report after the
