[birdky] Warren County 28 January 2009

YARD BIRDS (Nice increase throughout the day.  The following species were 
observed in addition to the resident White-throated, White-crowned, Song 
Sparrows and juncos.)

AMERICAN TREE SPARROW (7 Only the second time I've recorded this species in my 
yard in 15 years)

Chipping Sparrow (20+)
Savannah Sparrow 
Fox Sparrow (2)
Field Sparrow
American Goldfinch (80-100)

MCELROY LAKE (Only ditch and puddles but the lake is beginning to form)
Mallards, Blacks, and Gadwall

WALTON POND
Northern Pintail (12)

PETROS POND
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK (adult female dark-morph)
Red-tailed Hawk (adult light-morph calurus type)
Wilson's Snipe (13)

WKU FARM
American Tree Sparrow

An adult light-morph calurus type redtail which has been present along McElwain 
Road for several winters was observed today for the first time this winter.  I 
have not seen the light-morph Harlan's this winter which spent part of the past 
seven on the WKU farm, nor have I seen his mate which I believe to be a calurus 
intergrade.

Several hundred Horned Larks and approximately 150 Lapland Longspurs were 
scattered in the Woodburn area and WKU farm.
