This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of February 17, 2003 at 8:00 PM EST.
The highlights of this update are: returning Sandhill Cranes and reports
from scattered locations in Kentucky.
Sandhill Cranes have been reported migrating northward in number for the
first time in 2003. There have been at least 2 reports including about
275-300 birds observed in migration above Mammoth Cave National Park and
about 45 birds at Falls of the Rough State Park. Other harbingers of spring
include a "performing" American Woodcock at Mammoth Cave NP, a Pine Warbler
in Daviess County, and a Dunlin and 12 Least Sandpipers at Blood River
embayment in Calloway County.
On February 15, several species of bird were observed at the Long Point Unit
of the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding area of Fulton
County. Highlights of these observations include unspecified numbers of
Greater White-fronted Geese and Snow Geese, 7 Wood Ducks, 6 Hooded
Mergansers, 3 species of puddle duck, 2 Bald Eagles, and 3 Rusty Blackbirds.
On the same date, about 20 Eurasian Collared-Doves were observed in Hickman.
On February 12, several species of bird were observed at the Sloughs
Wildlife Management Area in Henderson County. These included unspecified
numbers of Snow Geese, Greater White-fronted Geese, Canada Geese, Northern
Pintails, and Hooded Mergansers. Two immature (2) Bald Eagles were also
observed.
Other birds of interest reported recently include Fox Sparrow at Warren and
Grayson Counties, and a Redhead, Winter Wren and Hermit Thrush in Warren
County.
