Actually, to further correct things a bit, readers should know that the Ellis Park Racetrack is MIS-MAPPED on the Ky DeLorme on p. 44, so anyone knowing where the REAL Ellis Park is shouldn't go looking for the kingbirds near it :o) The track on p. 44 is actually a car track, I think. Ellis Park IS correctly mapped on p. 32, block B-5 of the KY Gazetteer. From my interpretation of the directions, the birds ARE pretty darned close to KY across the river from the northern end of Henderson. And there is a piece of KY on the IN side of the river about 3/4 mile south of the nesting area. bpb, Louisville brainard.palmer-ball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: David S.

Yesterday 7/1 while visiting a site in Vanderburgh County Indiana that contains a nesting pair of Western Kingbirds I made note of one of the birds entering the tree line from the Ohio River. The birds are in fact nesting in the area across the river west of the Ellis Park Racecourse, in the Kentucky DeLorme Atlas page 44 grid A 4 and 5.
