Just around sunrise on Sunday February 4 five determined CKAS birders
headed west on the snow and ice covered Bluegrass Parkway towards Cecilia,
KY.
Jennifer and Jerry Snyder braved the icy roads to meet the CKAS birders at
the Cecilia Fire station to give current locations for Sandhill Cranes and
the Loggerhead Shrike.
Thank you Jerry and Jennifer,

Only five of us ventured out for the CKAS Sandhill Crane trip down to
Ceclia. Roads were a little iffy to start with but cleared up quickly
turning into a nice day. We got our targets, seeing around 800 Sandhill
Cranes. There were a lot in the air moving around and in the fields. We
were serenaded all day with their calls. We also found the two Bald Eagles
resident in the area. Overall we totaled 44 species for the day, including
finding a pair of Wood Ducks and Pileated Woodpeckers, a Wilson's Snipe and
Loggerhead Shrike, a large flock of Horned Lark, some American Tree
Sparrows, and a nice mix of our winter residents.
Added some photos to the eBird reports.
