This is the Kentucky Bird Line, sponsored by the Kentucky Ornithological
Society.  This update is current as of December 13, 2004 at 11:00 AM
EDT.  The highlights of this update are:

 

A decided effort was put forth on Saturday the 12th to find the NORTHERN
SHRIKE that had been previously observed on the Sinclair unit of Peabody
WMA. The bird was not found.  The outing did include sightings of COMMON
LOON, GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, and 1 ROSS' GOOSE, as well as a
number of duck species. 

 

Speaking of ducks, little was posted this week other than duck
observations. Highlights were good numbers of HOODED MERGANSERS from
Lexington, Cave Run Lake, and Lake Cumberland tail waters area.
BUFFLEHEAD were also seen in all these areas. A single GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE and 49 SANDHILL CRANES were seen in Wayne county, as
was a single female RUSTY BLACKBIRD. And a single MUTE SWAN was seen on
a small farm pond in Bourbon County. 

 

Finally 3 RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS (2 adult female, 1 adult male) were banded
this week. 1 each in Cynthiana, Lexington, and Louisville.
