Yesterday morning, Eddie Huber and I visited Happy Valley outside South
Williamson in Pike County (home of Joan Carr and Les Estep). Their Rufous
Hummingbird was very accommodating and she quickly had a band ... another
immature female Rufous. Including the adult male that was photographed in Trigg
County earlier in the fall, this makes 8 confirmed Rufous in the following
counties (west to east) this year: Trigg, Barren, Hart, Wayne, Lincoln,
Pulaski, Menifee, and Pike.
On our return trip west, we visited Yatesville Lake WMA in Lawrence County in
hopes of seeing a Black-capped Chickadee. We *may* have seen one, but it got
away before we could get a confirming look. There were no feeders going in
Blaine, Ky., unfortunately. We did see a tardy or wintering Gray Catbird,
probably at least 8-10 Red-breasted Nuthatches and Hermit Thrushes, 6-8 or more
Fox Sparrows, and a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets among good numbers of commoner
songbirds.
