New birds for November: whooping crane and hooded oriole! The oriole was
photographed by Jeff Rowe in McCracken County. It is working through the
rare birds committee, but this list is NOT official, and the picture appears
definitive. If approved, it will be a new species for Kentucky. As always,
please let me know any I've left off. Thanks, Steve K.
