Fourteen observers participated in the Otter Creek Park CBC on December 21st. Mostly due to a lack of waterfowl again this year, the count total was only about 60 species. Highlights included 8 Northern Harriers (most at a roost site near Flaherty), 2 Short-eared Owls (this may be a count first . . . I need to do a little research), a Loggerhead Shrike (first in several years), 5 Red-breasted Nuthatches "dozens" of Yellow-rumped Warblers, and 8 Purple Finches. ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
