A Black-necked Stilt was present and photographed at
McElroy Lake in Warren County this afternoon. This
represents only the 6th Kentucky record for this
species away from the western Jackson Purchase, and
the 2nd county record. The 1st county record was 26-27
April of this year at McElroy. Also present were
approximately 200 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 15-20
SemiPlovers, and 6-8 White-rumped Sandpipers. Several
Blue-winged Teal and a Coot were observed also as were
a few broods of Mallards.
The lake is dropping fast now and good shorebird
habitat exists.
Morgan's Pond in Christian County hosted 10 Ruddy
Ducks, a female Lesser Scaup, Coots, and approximately
25 SemiSandpipers.
