I searched the area for the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher with no luck on Saturday. I did however see 2 male Bobolink; 1 beside the barn at the south end of Stringtown Rd, the other just north of the focal Sycamore. The second bird appeared to be displaying over the nesting area, though it be only once.=20 In Menifee Co. I got to see why the Cliff Swallow is so named (and not called a bridge swallow). They were also nesting on a low covered marina dock; I could have reached up and touched them.=20 The white mulberry trees are loaded with fruit this year; several different stops included both orioles and Cedar Waxwings. At one tree a family of Mockingbirds (2 adults, 3 young) fought hard to hold claim to the spoils thereof.=20 Scott Lexington KY ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
