This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of March 21, 2005 at 11:00 AM EDT.
The highlights of this update are:
The male BULLOCK'S ORIOLE is still visiting the feeders in a
Lawrenceburg backyard. Directions are: from 62 go north on Starhill and
go past the first
chainlink-fenced in yard to the next yard that tends up a gradual
incline to
a gray stone house with white garage/carports. This is the second lot on
Starhill, but the house is up on the next street (Mackland). Parking is
better here along Starhill; pull safely off to the right side somewhere
in
the vicinity of the weedy patch with several small willow trees. You can
see
the feeders in the back yard of the Riddle's home. Approach slowly and
watch
the feeders and trees in the yard. The bird frequents both sunflower and
suet feeders, as well as oranges that have been cut in half and placed
on
the ground.
Signs of spring include the arrival of TREE SWALLOWS, which have been
seen for about a week wide spread. Also the first PURPLE MARTIN was
reported from Russelville on the morning of the 21st, and a single BARN
SWALLOW was seen in Calloway County on the 20th.
Other signs of spring would include a FIELD SPARROW singing on the 14th
in Grayson County, and BROWN CREEPER, WINTER WRENS, and an
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER singing in the Three Ponds State Preserve in
Hickman County on the 16th. Also noted at Three Ponds were PECTORAL
SANDPIPER, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, 20 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, 325 WILSON'S
SNIPE, 1100 GREEN-WINGED TEAL, and a BALD EAGLE CHICK. Young GREAT BLUE
HERONS were noted at a colony off of Kentucky Lake on the 15th.
A sign that winter has not yet left would be 3 SNOW BUNTINGS seen at
feeders in Richmond on the 17th.
