I birded Little Lick in the Daniel Boone NF today, between rain showers. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo flew in to a tree near one of the stops I made. It was carrying food, so I watched to see where it would go. It, finally, flew into a multiflora rose and fed a young "brancher". The young cuckoo had almost no tail and the wings weren't fully grown, yet. What a cutie! I stopped by a clear cut that had grown up a good bit along Hwy 1003 and was overwhelmed with the many singing Prairie Warblers, White-eyed Vireos, Indigo Buntings, Field Sparrows and displaying Yellow-breasted Chats (neat birds! They put so much effort into it.). While walking the logging road an American Woodcock flushed up in front of me. Some of the birds seen at Little Lick: Broad-winged Hawk Yellow-throated Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Northern Parula Black-throated Green Warbler Yellow-throated Warbler Pine Warbler Black-and-white Warbler Worm-eating Warbler Swainson's Warbler Ovenbird Louisiana Waterthrush Kentucky Warbler Common Yellowthroat Hooded Warbler Scarlet Tanager Summer Tanager ================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
