This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society. This update is current as of February 27, 2006 at 11:00 AM
EDT. The highlights of this update are:
The VARIED THRUSH that has been seen since the first of February is
still being seen on the 24th at the home of David and Clara Ann Pallares
of Louisville. The Pallares' phone number is 502 893 4015, and their
address is 77 Westwind Road. This is between Brownsboro Road and River
Road off of Indian Hills Trail.
A HARRIS'S SPARROW in Davies County has not been seen since the 18th,
and I have lost directions to the exact area too.
Water fowl migration has begun with good species counts coming in from
most of western Kentucky's hot spots. Along with most of the expected
ducks 300 AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN were seen at the LBL dams along with 2
DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT and a COMMON LOON; 130 WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and
1000 SNOW GEESE were seen in Fulton County; and WHITE-FRONTED and SNOW
GEESE were observed on at the Horseshoe slough in Henderson County. A
single HORNED GREBE was noted at the Uniontown dam, Union County.
Other birds of note would include 5 BALD EAGLE in the LBL area and 6 in
Fulton County; a PINE WARBLER visiting a peanut butter feeder in
Louisville; 72 PURPLE FINCH at a feeder in Elliott County; LEAST
SANDPIPERS on the Jonathon Creek mudflats; a RUFFED GROUSE in Bath
County; and a single LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE in Fulton County.
