Please excuse a late report for this past Saturday, 9/8. With all day winds from the north I thought there was a chance for migrating raptors and was rewarded with several good "yard" birds. Raptor flyovers were VERY high and fast with most being individual birds. Double-crested Cormorants 2 American Kestrel 2 Northern Harrier 1 (female or juvenile; very "threadbare" due to molt) Merlin Broad-winged Hawk Sharp-shinned Hawk Red-shouldered Hawk (may have been a local bird but seemed to be moving through) Common Nighthawk 5 (flyovers at home since 8/31) Mary Yandell Louisville, Hurstbourne area ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== When posting on BIRDKY, please close posts with your first and last name and your address (city or county). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post on BIRDKY, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS website at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos/default.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS Photo Page to view photos of birds recently sighted in Kentucky: http://www.flickr.com/groups/kentucky_ornithological_society/pool * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison.
