This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of February 04, 2003 at 11:00 PM EST.
The highlight of this update is the first report of returning Sandhill
Cranes.
Kentucky received its first report of Sandhill cranes returning from the
south this week. On February 2nd a flock with unspecified numbers was
observed "flying north" over Edmonson County. Then on February 4th, 2 birds
were heard in Jefferson County.
On February 1, Golden Eagle and a mature Bald Eagle were observed at
Taylorsville Lake. The Golden Eagle was observed for about 5 minutes eating
the carcass of a large mammal and was presumably scavenging. On January 12,
an immature Golden Eagle and 2 Bald Eagles were observed in the same general
area.
On February 1st, a joint Beckham Bird Club/KOS field trip visited the
Peabody Wildlife Management Area in Ohio County. 16 observers recorded 48
species of bird including Ross's Goose, Short-eared owl, Rough-legged Hawk,
and Northern Harrier.
Other birds of interest reported this week include: 275 Black Vultures at
Falls of the Rough State Park, unspecified numbers of Black-crowned
Night-Herons in Fayette County, and a Bald Eagle at Lake Peewee in Hopkins
County.
Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line. You may leave a report after the
