We (Zack Couch and myself) saw 135 sandhill cranes today (February 9, 2007) as we were traveling North on KY 55 just south of Campbellsville (Gazetteer page 66, block C-5). We noticed them while traveling North on KY 55 about a tenth of a mile or two South of the junction with 1625 & 3183, near Green River Lake State Park. We saw them circle about as they came over the trees. They caught thermals for a while and were then on their way South. They came up over the trees at about 4:45-5:00 PM. We tried swinging by Green River Lake and several spots close to where we'd seen them come over the tree line but we were unable to find any still on the ground. ----- Barry Nichols KTC Division of Environmental Analysis 200 Mero Street, Station W5-22-02 Frankfort, Kentucky 40622 502-564-7250 ext. 3315 ================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
