I am going to go out on a limb (and I hope I'm wrong), but I suspect these are washed out Carolina Wrens. Jim Williams went up there yesterday or day before and reported hearing a song from one not unlike Carolina; the two songs are completely different. As I say, I hope I'm wrong, but if anyone can CONFIRM the ID of these birds with song recording or photos, I'm buried on our family farm for a few days. Even if the birds leave, the nest should ID the species; Bewick's use sticks in their nest; Carolinas use only dead leaves and moss. bpb ________________________________ From: birdky-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Marsh, Scott Sent: Mon 6/6/2011 8:49 AM To: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [birdky] BEWICK'S WREN This is a local Lexington post that I don't see was sent to birdky Wayne Davis periodically checks his Prothonotary and wren boxes at the Blue Licks Battlefield State Park. Saturday he found Bewick's Wrens using one of his wren boxes at the lodge. The birds can be observed on the lower level of the breezeway between rooms 104 and 105. The box is mounted under the walkway nearest the parking lot. Wayne thinks they will be there only a few more days. scott lexington ================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 ================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
