And to chime in (or beat a dead horse), I have, in the last year or two
especially, been wondering what happened to most of the posts from the
Louisville area. I feel like we used to get many; during migration season
often multiple posts in a day, and more recently they seem very few and far
between. I can use eBird, but usually don't remember to, and I like the
personal touch; I enjoy hearing from people about what they found special,
or noteworthy.

To piggyback on Brainard's email, I for one would like to see birders post
even casual observations and lists on this bird line more often. I enjoy
knowing what's being seen around the state, and I don't usually have the
time to check a number of eBird lists. I'm not even sure where to
check...there are a lot of lists.
I spent an enjoyable hour down at the Wax campground on Nolin Lake this
morning...no new arrivals, but lots of orioles and red-headed woodpeckers
among the local birds. Yellow-throated, prothonotary, palm, and
yellow-rumped were my only four warblers today.

For those not looking at eBird and who may be in west KY, I see that Clay
Bliznik has reported *80* Willets at Ky Dam Village this morning.
Eric Hope and I visited Bernheim Forest for awhile this morning. Not many
migrants, but the "back side" Mt. Carmel Church/Harrison Fork Road was very
birdy with many nesting songbirds in evidence. Migrants were particularly
scarce; when I got home I was trying to pish in what would be a migrant
Yellow-throated Vireo and had a pretty Blackburnian Warbler come in ... so
migrants are around even if they aren't singing much.
The Melco Flood Retention Basin has been pretty dull this spring, but
numbers of common shorebirds are finally picking up there; Eric and I had
small numbers of 8 species this morning (Killdeer, Semi Plover, both
yellowlegs, Solitary, Spotted, Least, and Pectoral).
