June 8, 2012: The Kentucky Division of Forestry's tree nursery in Morgan
County provided some good birds today. Habitat around the nursery was
drastically changed by the tornado in March. Few big trees are remaining
and the white pines near the entrance have a whole lot of character now that
their branches have been completely and/or partially torn off. A red-headed
woodpecker flew across the road when I first arrived. Then I heard the
purple martins' alarm calls. They successfully mobbed a Cooper's hawk out
of the area. The metal martin houses at the Youth Center adjacent to the
nursery were destroyed by the tornado. The martins have moved to the metal
houses at a church up on the hill. On the way out, a horned lark flushed
from the nursery beds.
