This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of June 16, 2002 at 12:00 Midnight EDT.
The highlight of this update is a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Livingston
County.
A Scissor-tailed Flycatcher was observed and photographed in Livingston
County on June 16 at about 4:00 PM. The bird was about ½ mile south of the
junction of KY 453 and Interstate 24 at the time of observation. This
location is just north of Land Between the Lakes in Livingston County near
exit 31 on the interstate.
The bird was approximately 400 yards south of the Bison viewing area
maintained by Vulcan Materials. It was first located on power lines near a
power pole on the east side of 453 beside a large mountain of gravel. The
lines were normal lines below the set of high-tension lines that cross the
road at this location. This is the first set of high-tension lines that
cross 453 south of the Bison viewing area. There are other crossings
farther south. The bird was an adult male in good plumage. It traded to
the west side of 453 and fed just above the grass field which is a part of
the Vulcan Material Natural area maintained on the west side of 453 along
this stretch.
West of the road the large grassy field provides pretty typical
scissor-tailed flycatcher habitat. East of 453 the habitat looks very
unlikely. There are lots of power lines to check but numerous places to get
off the road.
Thanks for calling the Kentucky Bird Line. You may leave a report after the
tone. Please include your name, the date, the location, and the time of
your observation when filing a report. If your report contains rare or out
