This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of August 18, 2002 at 10:00 PM EDT. The
highlights of this update are: reports of migrant shorebirds and Larids, an
update on the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher nest, and reports of migrant warbler
species.
A Piping Plover was observed on islands in Kentucky Lake near Kenianna, in
Calloway County on August 17th. Other Shorebirds and Larids of interest
were also noted in unspecified numbers. Species observed there included
Black Tern, Caspian Tern, Herring Gull, Semipalmated Plover, Ruddy
Turnstone, Sanderling, Least Sandpiper, and Spotted Sandpiper.
On August 16th, 12 Black Terns, 1 Black-bellied Plover and other common
shorebirds were observed at the Brown Power Plant Ash Basin. Earlier in the
week 7 species of shorebirds were reported at Blood River Embayment on
Kentucky Lake, in Calloway County. Highlights from that report include
unspecified numbers of Short-billed Dowitchers and Semipalmated Plovers.
On August 11th, participants in the Mississippi Valley shorebird count
observed 892 individuals of 13 species at various locations in the extreme
western tip of the state. The most interesting species from that day were
Baird's Sandpiper, Sanderling, Western Sandpiper, and Stilt Sandpiper.
The Scissor-tailed Flycatchers below Barkley Dam continue to be observed as
of August 13th. On that date, 1 adult and 3 juveniles were seen near the
boat ramp on the east side of the Cumberland River in Lyon County. They
were frequenting Cottonwood Trees at the time of observation.
On another nesting note, information obtained from the Department of Fish
and Wildlife, indicates that the Double-crested Cormorants discovered
nesting in Kentucky Lake for the first time in years have been nesting in
that location since 2000. This information was heretofore unknown to
birders.
Migrant passerine observations are increasing in numbers. Reports of
migrant passerines include:
* Northern Parula, Kentucky Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Pine Warbler, and
Cerulean Warbler from the Western Kentucky Woods in Warren County on August
13th,
* Northern Waterthrush, American Redstart, Black-and-White Warbler, and
Cerulean Warbler on various dates in Jefferson County, and
* Red-eyed Vireo, Worm-eating Warbler, Northern Parula, and Summer Tanager
from Pike County.
Finally, on August 19th, 2 Mississippi Kites were observed in Jefferson
County. This represents an observation well east of this species normal
range in Kentucky.
Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line. You may leave a report after the

your observation when filing a report. If your report contains rare or out
